Why Rhapsody! with Classical Movements Since 2002, Classical Movements has produced the Rhapsody! Children's Music Festival in Vienna, Salzburg and Prague. We believe that sharing the gift of music with other cultures and learning another way of life is crucial in order to truly appreciate music. By gathering children from around the world together in the place that many people consider the foundation of classical music, we allow children to gain this understand and appreciation while making beautiful music. Here are additional reasons why you should participate in this inspirational festival. INSPIRATIONAL INTERACTIONS
