Enjoy a blast from the past, as former OSF resident Sue Carney plays an array of seldom-heard historic instruments, and answers your questions about music through the ages. Where does music come from? How long have people been making musical instruments? What role did music play in the lives of people in the Renaissance? How do instruments work? Through inter-weaving themes from the fields of music, history, neuro-science, archaeology, and natural history, a story emerges that invites listeners to make new connections between their personal journey and the fascinating world of the past.

Sue is best known for her work as a composer, producer, and performer at the acclaimed Oregon Shakespeare Festival, where she has been regularly commissioned to create music for theater, dance, and video productions.
