This concert of ‘words and music’ captures the daring days of early aviation, when to be a pilot was a thing of wonder, in an intrepid journey with the daring French aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of Le Petit Prince.

Extracts from the autobiography of the great aviator, are narrated and interwoven with a soundscape from twentieth-century France, from the minimalist chords of Satie to the bright and exquisite world of Ravel; from the exotic flavours of Debussy to the grit and pathos of Montmartre Chanson.
