Tchaikovksy arrives in New York for the grand opening of Carnegie Hall in 1891. It's all aboard for a fun-filled musical adventure to Niagara Falls. During his trip, the great composer shares stories with a young family about his music, his life, and his fear of conducting. In the end, both the composer and the family discover something about courage and about themselves.
