Keep the Beacon Burning
So, my friends proposed that for No Shave November; they will instead grow facial hair to match composers. So my friend Trevor’s gonna be Tchaikovsky
And my friend Dom is going to be Debussy
And Clayton is Schubert
They’re calling it Compose a Beard November!!!!!!
Should I start styling my hair in the manner of a famous composer?
Orchestras everywhere face the challenge of making themselves relevant for young people, somewhere in the demographic between high school and entering your 30s and 40s. The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra has instituted this series, the IPO in Jeans, as one way of making music fun for everyone.
Awesome idea!!!!
It just fascinates me how wordless music can evoke such emotions.
And how a group of people playing vastly different instruments, playing different parts can create something so beautiful
—goddamn it spotify, stop interrupting my reflections!—
It’s fascinating. There’s SO MUCH variety. It’s endless.
Classical music is fantastic.
(But you already knew that, didn’t you?)
