Besides the Curiosity rovers's rendition of Happy Birthday and Chris Hadfields guitar playing aboard the ISS, is there a list of music played in space live (robots playing music counts too)?
Note: Music added during a Livestream (ie falcon heavy) does not count.

I almost made an edit changing "played" to "performed" because I assumed you didn't want to include people playing music on their MP3 players or laptops. But when I saw "robots playing music" I decided I'm not sure what you mean yet. Do you want to exclude the laptops and MP3 players from your list?

@uhoh Well I assume that astronauts on the ISS listen to music all the time but that's not what I'm going for--but calling curiosity's happy birthday a performance is up to interpretation :) I just wanted to make sure to include events like curiosity's happy birthday.

Flautists eh? Youd think with aeronautics potentially crossing over with military somebody wouldve tried a trumpet or taps.

Nothing wrong with flutes! I enjoyed playing for 4 years-- I kind of want to ask which instruments wouldnt function in zero gravity now. Honestly curious which mechanical instruments have reliance on gravity.

The main thing I love about ISS photos-- especially the interior-- is how many things you notice when you zoom in that youd absolutely miss on a precusory glance! A ziploc of bandaids attached to the wall behind the keyboardist for example. I wonder how many stubbed toes and 0g accidents before that happened ha!

Draining the spit out of wind instruments might get tricky, so you could play a trumpet, but perhaps for only a few hours ...

As a note: my wife, a professional flutist, tells me there is a lot of contention over the use of "flautist" vs "flutist" in the USA (flutetoday.com/flutist-flautist-flute-player). Coincidentally, she teaches at Ronald McNair middle school.
