The great composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky arrives in New York for the grand opening of Carnegie Hall, and two children join the composer on a musical journey to Niagara Falls. Along the way, Tchaikovsky reveals much about his life, his joys, and fears. In the end, both the composer and the children discover something about courage —and about themselves.
