To counteract all the modern music in the previous sci-fi show, this show plays music PRE-1900! Dive into the past to our truly old school classical music. Starting with Gregorian chants, some early reed instruments and Church bells, we move rapidly through the centuries including a bunch of old classical “masters” like Vivaldi, Mozart, Handel, Haydn, Beethoven and more and finishing up with a piece composed just before the turn of the 20th century. Anhd it will all be played in chronological order!
