It might be unusual to see a room full of frogs, newts, snakes, crocodiles, and other herptiles playing classical music instruments. Won’t the salamanders get those piccolos slimy? How can a tortoise control a contrabass bow? If a snake falls in the piano, can it ever be untangled from the wires? Let the Herpsichords surprise and delight you with our unique take on the music of the 17th through the early 20th century.
