A Little Nightmare Music
Think Mozart hijacked by Monty Python and you have some idea of the mayhem created by the musical comedy duo Aleksey Igudesman & Hyung-ki Joo. They are serious, classically trained musicians who have turned the world’s most esteemed concert halls into standing-room only comedy clubs. Igudesman & Joo’s aim is to make classical music more accessible to the public. Their performance is promised to captivate and crack you up, whether you are a classical music lover or run for cover at the mention of Mozart. “A Little Nightmare Music” is at 7 p.m. Jan. 21 at the Long Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Austin.
