“Composers today either repeat the past badly, or reject everything and make something incomprehensible.” In our recent panel, two rising talents, @StephenLimbaugh & @Musica11235, joined veteran musician @FutureSymphony to explore how classical music can move the soul again.
An utterly fantastic conversation. I found so much of what is discussed here resonates with what I do and strive towards as a writer. Highly recommend giving it a listen. Time well spent.
