Manhattan-based classical orchestra plays on period instruments
While classical music compositions have been preserved for our listening pleasure, it’s rare to hear pieces played as they would have been a century or two ago. That’s because instruments have evolved quite a bit in that time. But New York’s American Classical Orchestra is putting a bit of the past in its performances with antique instruments and techniques.
