Classical music is... well, a bit of everything—beautiful, scary, and everything in between. Step into a world where classical music meets fun, with performances that are as entertaining as they are informative. We’ll explore every era, instrument, holiday, and mood (you name it!)—and trust us, it’s anything but stuffy. Picture the creativity of Alton Brown's "Good Eats," combined with the unconventional flair of the '80s cult favorite "New Wave Theater," and a dash of "Bill Nye the Science Guy." This show is all about having a good time while giving local performers a fresh stage to shine for an entirely new audience.
