Overview

The period of Classical Music was approximately between 1750 and 1820, so why are we still in the habit of using this incorrect, unhelpful and limiting label?

More relaxing than its title suggests, but admittedly rebellious in spirit, we will explore favourite songs or arias through the centuries to today: to suggest that what we call 'classical' music is in fact just unforgettably great music that belongs on any stage, alongside any music, and vice versa.
