Classical Music Ping
Tubular, man! :)
Cool, I’m listening now
My daughter would have auditioned for this had she known about it. The first we ever heard was last night.
Not sure how legitimate this approach to classical music is, but at least it is an attempt to bring the hundreds of years of cultural wealth that Western music embodies to today’s younger audiences. I think all can agree that young people today need all the culture they can get.
As a professional classical musician, I must give some props to Michael Tilson-Thomas for taking the initiative here. He seems to be at the forefront of the push to give classical music a new breath of life, and although the performance at this first concert may have been shaky here and there, I think the gesture and effect will be the thing that people will come away with.
