MUSIC THROUGH THE AGES: A LISTENER'S GUIDE

From Gregorian Chant to Bach to Chopin to the Beatles, we’ll enjoy a breezy time travel. Along the way we’ll discover how generations of brilliant musicians changed music, while their world was experiencing massive social and political upheaval. We’ll chart the birth of harmony, the evolution of the piano, the orchestra and its instruments. We’ll get to know composers – both familiar and unfamiliar – and we’ll meet those neglected patrons of music who made it all possible. We time-travel through Europe with itinerant composers and musicians who shared what they knew while learning from others along the way. And, of course, we’ll sample music through performance videos that will thrill us, move us and make us smile.
