interwoven with Tschailovsky's

The classical Tschaikovsky score
has been orchestrated for two

accordion....astounding. The
EDT Folk Orchestra joins in
for the dances!
Klara is delighted with Drosselmeier's
gifts of dancing dolls-Ukrainian
tin soldiers, Appalachian cloggers,
music box Austrian darlings
and a Hungarian nutcracker.
In a winter's dream, she travels
to the Land of the Sweets where
dancers swirl Chinese ribbons,
twirl Egyptian canes and caper
in Mexican Masks. Magical daces
and music from Bulgaria, Germany,
Russia and Sweden.
