The story of Saint-Georges’ Sword and Bow is centered on a rivalry as old as time: classical vs. contemporary. Thirteen-year-old Giselle is dead set on becoming a famous pop star, while her father insists that studying music theory is much more important. The supernatural arrival of Jospeh Bologne, Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges, whisks Giselle back in time to learn about Bologne’s personal and professional life. As she gets to know Joseph, his complicated story, and his incredible compositions, Giselle realizes that fame can turn on you in a minute, but true passion can last a lifetime.
