You will be amazed at some of the most unusual instruments created through the ages…and with the beautiful and sometimes bizarre music they produce. In this musical program, you will get the rare opportunity to hear the very first musical works ever written specifically for the music box: delicate melodies portraying the twelve signs of the zodiac. We will show you a concerto for a tap dancer; an entirely electronic orchestra; haunting medieval chants; an instrument that is played without even being touched; and a symphonic poem for 100 metronomes! Ben Franklin—who, among his many talents, was also a musician—will make an appearance, too.
