The Mostly Music series couples live actors with musical performers to better acquaint audiences not only with the music, but also with the lives and artistic development of the Western World's greatest composers. Between musical compositions, actors read excerpts of personal letters written by the featured composers at around the same period as the music to be performed. Although these composers were geniuses, they too lived with all the joys, frailties and frustrations common to humanity. The concerts feature Lynn Conservatory’s faculty members, chamber orchestra and students in addition to guest artists. Mostly Music is conceived and hosted by Marshall Turkin and staged by Jan McArt.

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) lived in an era when musicians were considered servants like other hired help in the household. However, he lived on to play an integral role in the creation and development of the great Classical style, inspiring Mozart and teaching Beethoven.
