1. I'm Ricardo / Richard Szrabe, a concert-standard classical pianist and retired English barrister (formerly Astor).

2. I want to spend a few years leisurely playing all Mozart's twenty-seven piano concertos in various unusual places around the world with local concert-standard amateur musicians playing local instruments:-

(1) very photogenic: Tons of interesting locations, people, situations… We'll be looking into local features, folks, cultures, lifestyles


(2) very audiogenic: No industrial symphonics. Nothing artificial. My way actually sounds like Mozart!


3. It can be done. I've done it. It works.

4. In the project's present first stage, I'll be playing Mozart piano concertos 1?, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 on a proper grand piano with concert-standard amateur string players (2 violins, 1 viola, 1 cello) in various unusual locations: present ideas include a zoo, prison, hospital, factory, office, submarine, operating theater, mortuary, funeral parlor, science laboratory, observatory, weighlessness space, mine, prize fighters' dressing room, etc.

5. Now looking for sponsors, backers, donations. Rent your very own promo space on the piano, the TV reality show, the YouTube channel, etc. Rare valuable targeted global marketing.

6. We'll roll into town, meet local folks, businesses and communities, recruit some local amateur musicians, set up the grand piano (it travels in the minibus) and get to work. Quality TV.

7. Not just music. I'll have a talk radio show in each location. Emulating BBC Radio's famous Down Your Way (Franklin Engelmann, Brian Johnston), we'll be going Up Yours. Engrossing audio and video.

8. Ricardo Musica will have far-sighted investors and its own modest production company, now being assembled.

9. It's a natural for authentic spontaneous reality TV. The project's highly promotable content will easily sell to TV and radio stations globally:-

cultural and multi-cultural • classical music • classical music played differently • weird locations worldwide • local musicians, instruments • anarchic no-nonsense barrister pianist • other eccentrics • interesting people, places • lots of atmosphere • educational • entertaining • original • quirky • unconventional • refreshingly meritorious.
