Nominating 1888 as a pretty freaking good year in classical music - Mahler Symphony 1, RK Scheherazade, Tchaik Symphony 5, Faure Requiem, Debussy Arabesque 1, Satie Gymnopedie 1. What's your nomination?

The string quartet might be a 400-year-old recipe for music, but the Mivos Quartet proves that the formula is still a vibrant force. Watch the group play new music by Henry Threadgill and Robert Honstein at the #Tiny Desk. npr.org/2022/07/19/111129272…

Today is #NationalHotDogDay 🌭, but we’re celebrating the non-grill variety, namely the dachshund or Wiener dog! 🐕
Leonard Bernstein owned many dachshunds, all named Henry, and once on a flight to Paris, booked a seat for a furry passenger named “Henry Bernstein.”

Hi, everyone! I am so happy to announce my new album, Eclipse! It will be released officially on October 7, BUT you can already listen to the first two tracks to be pre-released, which are the final two tracks of Sarasate’s Carmen Fantasy. presave.umusic.com/hilary-ha… @DGclassics

What a fun night. We attended a great concert -- our first since COVID. The remarkably talented young musicians of the Colorado-based @NROmusic were joined by the spectacular @JoshuaBellMusic at the @newmancenter. Thanks to @CPRClassical for sponsoring the event.

History is about to happen here at @TheCliburn — the first performance of Gerswhin’s Concerto in F in the competition’s history, performed by the first black finalist (American pianist Clayton Stephenson), conducted by the queen of American music, @marinalsop! ❤️😍❤️ #Cliburn2022

This is 'Myfanwy', the first single from my new album and one of my absolute favourite melodies that I’ve known for as long as I can remember. I spent a lot of my childhood in Wales with my family and particularly my Welsh Grandma, so this is for her: Sheku.lnk.to/SongTW

I can't wait for you to meet pianist & composer Mary D. Watkins. At 82, she has a new opera.
Growing up in Pueblo, she recalls adding notes to brighten up hymns as she played in church. "I thought they were kind of empty. Kind of dry."

Yo-Yo Ma made a personal stand with Ukraine on Monday, playing his cello on the sidewalk outside the Russian Embassy in D.C.
Later at the Kennedy Center, he and others played Ukraine's national anthem — prompting the entire audience to stand in unity. n.pr/3Kmeipc

"They make out that I am obscure, complicated, tedious, more fettered by technical skill than lit by inspiration. Well, this time I have written a work that is full of clarity and vivacity, full of color and melody."

Something spooky’s coming soon to @CPRClassical! Here’s all I can say…
1) I got to wear my Edward Gorey shirt.
2) I got to use my French at work, which almost never happens.
3) “Bat” in French is literally “bald mouse.”

In honor of Yo-Yo Ma's 66th birthday, @CPRClassical attempted the impossible: they chose their favorite recordings from the prolific cellist's six-decade performance career. buff.ly/3mrI2Xt

An inspired setting for a #GoatRodeo.
