Stop by Boston's Symphony Hall to hear a preview of Tchaikovsky's Romeo & Juliet Suite, then to Seville to relish the flamenco singers, to Port of Spain, Trinidad for some calypso and to Martinique for beguine, all before heading off to Detroit's Fox Theater to hear Reginald Foort play the great organ.

Accompanied lightly by banjo, Magnante's virtuosic set ranges from "Twelfth Street Rag" and the tango "La cu cumparsita" to Chopin's "Minute Waltz." Smith's set of smoky vocal and piano duos recalls the Old Absinthe House in New Orleans' French Quarter and includes classics such as "Lover Man" and "Straighten Up and Fly Right."

This special collection of 19th-century music boxes, carousels and hand organs yields not only the delicate bell-like tingle we associate with the music box or the huskier sound of hand organ bellows, but also a few not-yet-so-elegant jangles from some of the earliest ever mechanical contraptions.

They're here, along with other popular tunes played on the calliope (the "steam organ," once a frequent sight on riverboats or at circus parades). A surreal step back into the past, the nickelodeon and calliope offer sounds now distant to today's soundscape.
