‘Music on a Plate’: Czech Radio’s interactive concert blends music and cooking

Music doesn’t always have to spring from deep emotions or the beauty of nature. Sometimes, inspiration comes straight from the kitchen. That’s exactly the idea behind an educational concert for children organised by Czech Radio, entitled Music on a Plate, which showcased musical works with a culinary twist. They included the song of a swan from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana,  Bohuslav Martinů’s playful Kitchen Revue, and Otmar Kvěch’s Kitchen Band.
