We are leading up to the Classical Music Webinar on Friday! Today we have a guest post by Catherine Starek. Catherine is a graduate student with the desire to promote the arts to younger audiences. She came across a particular type of program, symphonic photochoreography, that is being used by some orchestras with great results. …
Inspired by the article, The changing face of opera, posted in the Oxford University Press’ blog by Meghann Wilhoite, I give you my first mini-podcast for 2013.

Oh dear! The headlines today were not very encouraging.

I just finished reading Classical music ain’t just for snobs When I saw the title, I was expecting an article detailing the various reasons why classical music can be enjoyed by everyone and anyone. I should have known better. It turned out to be another critical essay regarding the format of how someone is presenting…
Last night I went to see one of my favorite artists, Peter Gabriel. He is right up there with the Beatles, Sting/The Police, and all my favorite classical music composers. For this concert tour, Peter Gabriel was being backed by his own orchestra, the New Blood orchestra. He chose particular songs to have arranged (brilliantly,…

The repertoire selected was the same old type of list: Barber of Seville, some poppy selections from South Pacific, some light operetta favorites. Throw in pieces from Fantasia and it’s a…
