About this event

An eerily beautiful orchestral adventure
Just before Halloween, André has a job to do: he has to find the best place for a really spooky Halloween party! To do this, he needs expert Halloween knowledge, a scary atmosphere, room for weird dancing witches, pumpkins and party ghosts, and plenty of eerily beautiful music.
