Max & Maestr? ( original spelling ) is an animated television series co-produced by Rai Ragazzi , France Télévisions and the Hessischer Rundfunk .
The series tells the story of the encounter between the boy Max, who is passionate about video games and rap music, and the maestro Daniel Barenboim , which was implemented in an animated version.
In each episode, the viewer is introduced to a piece of classical music (brought to the occasion by Barenboim) and the most important features are analyzed, comparing the moods generated by the music with the behavior and vicissitudes of the protagonists.
Max and his three friends Emilia, Maurice and Leon have a rap band together , the "Boombastic Ninjas".
