BWTC IS ...
Each concert shares the stories behind the music. Envision the opulence and intrigue of Versailles, the domestic warmth of Viennese salons, or the modern voices of the 20th century. Learning about the composers, their patrons, and the times they lived in helps audiences see how music was shaped by history, and how those same themes still speak to us today.

Every performance ends with a showstopper creation inspired by the program. Whether it’s an Esterházy Torte, Marie Antoinette’s éclair tower, or an elegant afternoon tea table spread, the creations turn history into something one can taste, creating a fun and memorable way to enjoy music together.
