TKC 549 Classical Music Evangelist Clemency Burton-Hill

Author of Year of Wonder: Classical Music to Enjoy Every Day Interview starts at 18:16 and ends at 42:30 “I wanted to demystify the music itself, and I wanted to humanize the people who created it, because I think we often think about classical composers being these dead, white European guys invariably from Germany and Austria somewhere in the 18th century maybe with a frock coat, maybe with a powdered wig, definitely on some kind of pedestal occupying a lofty, elevated  space that has no bearing on real people’s everyday lives. What’s incredibly humbling when you start to get to know these composers is that they’re just human beings like you and me, just trying to survive their lives, to express themselves through this particular art form.” News “No thank you, Mr. Pecker” by Jeff Bezos at Medium - February 7, 2019 "Facing opposition, Amazon reconsiders N.Y. headquarters site, two officials say" by The Washington Post - February 8, 2019 Kindle Paperwhite on sale for $100 - $30 off Tech Tip MobiScribe E-ink Notepad - $214 MobiScribe v5.18 Beginner’s guide Rocketbook Everlast Reusable Smart Notebook - $30 AmazonBasics Alexa Microwave - $42 Interview with Clemency Burton-Hill Year of Wonder: Classical Music to Enjoy Day by Day by Clemency Burton-Hill Year of Wonder playlists at iTunes and Spotify WQXR Radio in New York City Aria Code podcast Scala Radio launch in the UK Content Early Riser: A Novel by Jasper Fforde - to be released February 12, 2019 Winter World by A.
