This animated film concert with live solo piano created by Oscar® award-winning creators BreakThru Films introduces the music of Chopin with a set of unique animations. The main feature, Magic Piano (30 minutes) tells the story of Anna and Chip-Chip’s adventure of discovery aboard a magic, flying piano. This is presented alongside The Chopin Shorts; collections of 2-3 minute films each set to Chopin études.

Completing almost a full overview of these piano works, these colourful, magical films are delighting young audiences worldwide. The Southbank Centre hosted the UK & European premiere in London in February 2013; it has also been performed at venues including Aldeburgh Snape Proms, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, Melbourne Recital Centre, Xinghai Concert Hall, Taipei National Concert Hall and notably Hong Kong Arts Festival for five sell-out performances for the Asian premiere in March 2014.

Magic Piano & The Chopin Shorts returns to China this summer for a major tour with ten performances given by pianist Eric Fan. Cities included in the tour include Beijing, Suzhou and Wuhan.

2018 is the fourth year in a row in which the film concert with live solo piano has toured in the summer months, delighting audiences across China. Created by Oscar® award-winning creators BreakThru Films, Magic Piano & the Chopin Shorts introduces the music of Chopin with a set of unique animations.
