Daniel Barenboim lends his persona to Max & Maestro, a new animated television series from Monello Productions.
In the series, young adult Max dreams of becoming a musician and, after a chance meeting, begins to study with Maestro Barenboim. Max faces challenges as he deals with friends and family who do not like classical music and learns how to play in secret.
Audiences in France can watch the series now on France 4. Max & Maestro begins airing in Italy starting 12 May on RAI GULP, and German audiences can stay tuned to learn where they can watch this summer.
