This wonderful CD includes four of your all time favorite children's stories accompanied by the music of the greatest classical composers; a world premiere of a string quartet composed by James Stephenson inspired by four illustrations by Chris Van Allsburg lovingly reproduced in the CD insert; an adaptation of The Prince and the Mermaid with music by the preeminent Afro-American composer William Grant Still; and finally everyone can go to sleep to the poetry of Robert Frost with Vivaldi's Winter and the very special Goodnight Moon brought to life by Debussy's Claire de Lune.

MOB is striving to bring classical music to children in an engaging and exciting format. Our goal is for children to obtain a recognition, and a deep appreciation for great classical music. In our CD "Music Tales," children will hear themes and melodies from the greatest music of all time, while listening to some of their favorite stories and fairy tales.

Musicians Out of the Box was founded in 2003, in Sarasota Florida, by its four founding and current members. The Quartet has performed throughout the West Coast of Florida, and has collaborated with dancers, singers, visual artists, and actors, to bring awareness for all types of art to our community.
