Classical music
is for everyone.

When I was in college, I invited some people from my dorm to come to a concert I was giving. My friend Steve looked at me and said: “No offense, Nat, but I hate what you do.”

I started Bach & Boombox for people like Steve.

Classical music isn’t boring.

Mozart wanted you to clap during his pieces.

Bach once got into a swordfight with a bassoon player.

Conducting is dangerous - the first time someone tried, he got gangrene and died.

But over the years, classical music has lost its edge. The concerts and the attire feel stuffy.

Bach & Boombox is here to help. We’re getting back to basics, and making it fun and relevant: 

All great music relates to classical music. From jazz to James Brown to Jay-Z, , it all starts with Bach.

Bach’s Kids

The Original Bach & Boombox Program

Bach had 20 kids, and still managed to write over 1000 pieces of music. He must have been very busy! In this program, we’ll explore how all music works, and find out how Bach managed to raise 20 kids, while writing over 1000 pieces of music, while still having time for sword fights and time travel. We’ll also hear songs by Post Malone, AC/DC, and Tito Puente, and along the way, I’ll share stories about my old job, playing music at the White House.

In the second half, I’ll put the boombox away and play pieces by other composers influenced by Bach. We’ll also learn how he mastered time travel, and take a trip of our own to Spain. I’ll also share stories from my career, including White House performances, and what it was like playing for the world’s scariest cellist.
