Music from Space!

Space, specifically, the International Space Station. 

First, on April 8, 2011, astronaut Col. Cady Coleman and Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson honored Yuri Gagarin with a flute duet 

NASA's press release:

Coleman, an amateur flutist, and Anderson played a portion of the song "Bourree," an arrangement of which Anderson and Jethro Tull performed during their 1969 U.S. tour as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped on the moon. Coleman played her part from 220 miles above Earth late last week. Anderson played his part while on tour in Perm, Russia, during the weekend. The two parts were then joined.

I think Hadfield is a commander but what a neat thing to do.

Oops! You're right, I'm wrong. He was Air Force.
