Musical Connections uses special events and playlists to take you on a journey through the fascinating connections that exist between classical music and other types of music, and the connections that all music has with the world around us.

This kind of journey is possible because of two simple facts. First, all types of music are connected to each other through the common elements of what makes music, music: like melody, harmony, rhythm, and the ability to express and create a feeling or mood.  Second, songwriters and composers are shaped and inspired by the world around them, so their music necessarily expresses the interconnections that they see and feel.

By using these connections as an entry point and guide to the world of classical music, you are embarking on a journey that will elicit a pleasant feeling-tone, deepen your enjoyment of all music, and perhaps you’ll even see the world around you in a different light.
