About the piece: Welcome aboard the Braveship!  Join us for a musical extravaganza in thirteen movements of symphonic adventure, showcasing the storytelling power of the classical orchestra. Written and composed by Dr. Matt Cook, Braveship is a narrated show for family and pops audiences, telling the story of a young orphan boy, Azra, who embarks on a journey to mysterious continents in a fantastical world. Stunning visuals accompany the music and story, illustrated by some of the world’s finest artists in the fantasy genre. This multimedia spectacle, recently recorded at a major Disney studio and released as an award-winning album, will take your breath away—so come soar into the clouds as part of the Braveship’s crew.  THE STORY Young Azra has grown up on a mysterious, floating continent surrounded by fog. What lies beyond the edge of his world? Legend tells of other continents that split away in previous centuries. An adventurer at heart, Azra resolves to test legend despite the counsel of his elders, who caution against the dangers of unbridled exploration.  Azra’s world opens when he discovers the magical Braveship abandoned in the forest. Guided by a mysterious creature with wings of fire, Azra sails away on the Braveship and discovers a vast landscape of other continents in the world. Not only that, but something seems to be splitting these continents apart—and as the only one who can traverse the fog, it’s up to him to stop the destruction.  Little does Azra know at first, he has a stowaway. An outlaw known as Finn has stolen a spot aboard the Braveship. But when the firebird is hunted by the Braveship’s enemies, Azra needs a navigator—and as he ventures into new and ever more distant worlds, he also needs a friend. And he may need other friends, too.
