This Friday evening, From the Top will be in the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts in New Albany at 8:00pm

When most of us think of recorders, we have flashbacks to music class in elementary school as we were given our first opportunities to make music. When you hear Michala Petri, you’ll realize just how far this is from your 2nd grade music class.

Danish recorder virtuosa Michala Petri will join Boyce Lancaster for music and conversation Friday morning at 9 am on Classical 101.

The ripple effects of ongoing lockouts and orchestral contract negotiations is being felt those in all walks of life, whether or not they’ve ever darkened the door of a theatre.

What do orchestra conductors and musicians in general, for that matter, listen to when they’re not preparing to conduct?

Composers and musicians are determined to make music, and music lovers are determined to hear it.

If you’re bemoaning the fact that you simply can’t get to every holiday performance available in Central Ohio – fear not.  Classical 101 have you covered.

Handel’s Messiah, specifically his Hallelujah Chorus, is a perennial favorite this time of year.  However, there are other great “alleluias” which would certainly serve to make your season bright if we set aside Handel for a moment.
