About the show
Rainer Hersch's hilarious show, All Classical Music Explained - Live!, returns to UK theatres this autumn.
Rainer Hersch is half German, half English, which means he’d like to take over the world but he’s too polite...
His comedy show All Classical Music Explained has been broadcast by BBC Radio 4 in a 6-part series and sold out festivals across the world from Scotland to New Zealand. At its heart are those difficult questions: “why is organ music so boring?”; “what did Mozart steal from ABBA?” and “what do conductors actually do?” Whether you are a music professor or can’t tell string quartets from a string vest, relax: All Classical Music Explained will teach you nothing but it will make you laugh. Really laugh.
Featuring - Rainer Hersch
Brilliant comic star of TV and BBC Radio giving classical music a new dose of the Victor Borge treatment. He turns his comic skills on those awkward questions: 'Why is organ music so boring?'; 'How can I play a musical instrument without practising?'; 'What do conductors actually do?'.
