Bringing Classical Home Series

Sunday, September 27th - Tuesday, September 29th 

6pm - 8pm

Previous generations grew up with classical music in the ether, a kind of shared grammar of loveliness in the background of one's home. Of course, its historical, original iterations occurred in small parlor rooms and petite music houses, often amidst people who themselves knew some basics of tone, form, composition, and harmony. In Bringing Classical Home, a joint venture with the Takoma Foundation, we want to return classical music to its earliest iterations - rooms of friends and lovers, loved ones and neighbors and new friends to come. In so doing, we are hoping to reestablish classical music as a universal emblem of achieved beauty, something fitting and lovely sculpted from the world.
