What do Mozart, Marie Antoinette, and Benjamin Franklin have in common? That question and many others will be answered in this fast-paced, multimedia program developed by NSO cellist Yvonne Caruthers, which explores the connections between history and music (recorded in October 2005 at C. D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge, VA). An ensemble of NSO musicians brings to life the history and music of colonial Jamestown, the Lewis and Clark expedition, the post–Civil War era, and the turbulence of the twentieth century. History as you have never "heard" it before!
