Description:

It’s Classical Classroom’s first field trip! We go to the studio of Early Music expert and musician, Matthew Dirst – home to the professor’s lovely harpsichord. Matthew transports us to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, when there was a harpsichord in (almost) every home. He also tells us what’s going on in Harpsichordia now, and what may be to come.

Audio production by Todd “Tickling the Ivories” Hulslander, with backup dancing by Dacia Clay.
