The history of music is nearly as long and complicated as the history of humanity itself. In this engaging 50-minute, interactive workshop, Black Moon Trio takes audiences on a dynamic journey through the major eras of music, from the ancient and mysterious origins of Prehistoric music to the groundbreaking compositions of the Contemporary. This performance covers key musical eras, including Prehistoric, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Folk, Jazz, and Contemporary, providing a well-rounded exploration of compositional evolution over centuries and reflecting the broader cultural, social, and technological changes that have shaped the ways in which we write and listen to music.

In addition to the instruments themselves, listeners will dive into the works of a wide variety of composers, from early pioneers whose work laid the foundations for Western classical music to the visionary artists who pushed the boundaries of the genre and beyond. By examining both well-known masterpieces and lesser-known gems, the workshop gives attendees a broad perspective on the rich tapestry of classical music. Alongside the music, Black Moon Trio will provide historical context to help audiences understand the social, political, and cultural forces that influenced each period’s musical development. Whether exploring the emotional depth of Romantic music or the rhythmic innovation of Jazz, participants will discover how each era was shaped by the events and ideas of its time.
