Awareness and understanding of the differing historical epochs and their related musical repertory allow for, as in Magister Ludi’s Glass Bead Game, an ever-increasing emergence of new combinations, assemblages and collages in musical programming. This page presents our concert programmes numbered in the chronological order of the concerts and subdivided according to theme. In this way the over 500 musical events performed in four continents allow one to navigate in the ‘dream world’ of the history of music.
