This category contains links to articles or categories which relate to families containing two or more musicians, either in the same or different generations, who have been actively engaged in the world of Western classical music. The use here of the term 'classical music' is that defined in the Wikipedia article of the same name: "Classical music is art music produced or rooted in the traditions of Western music, including both liturgical (religious) and secular music. While a similar term is also used to refer to the period from 1750-1820 (the Classical period), this article is about the broad span of time from roughly the 11th century to the present day, which includes the Classical period and various other periods".
