Every musician that has voted for this or praised genocide will face professional consequences. I also think every musician and man in power (looking at every orchestra brass section, personally) that has stayed silent or supported genocide should face professional consequences as well.

WETA Classical's annual Classical Countdown starts this morning, counting down the top 100 Classical music pieces as selected by listeners. Sporadic countdowns through Wednesday and all day Thanksgiving, with the #1 piece Thanksgiving night -it's not always Beethoven's 9th!

There is a special bonus episode of Classical Breakdown out now featuring the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra performing Hailstork! #classicalmusic podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

if you engage in anti union practices you deserve to choke on your fancy dessert drink and cough up whipped cream all over your steering wheel.

Join me tonight at 9 for another Front Row Washington. This evening it’s music by Beethoven and Faure from the Arts Club of Washington with some fantastic leading players. 🎶🎶🎻 weta.org/fm/features/...

It was a busy week! A special bonus episode of Classical Breakdown comes out next Tuesday. An episode on a piano concerto comes out the week after that 🎹😁 On Front Row Washington, made a GREAT episode featuring works by Carlos Simon and Chiarina Chamber Players. More later 😊 first fire 🥶

One of the biggest pedophile protectors in US history

Bad news for Epstein associates and those that protect them with immense power.

this is literally never not accurate

New episode of Classical Breakdown is out today, this time on the life and music of living composer Adolphus Hailstork! We also look a little closer at 3 of his works; a symphony, piano quintet, and a choral work. #classicalmusic podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Join me in 1 hour (9pm est) on Front Row Washington for ACRONYM and some fantastic music, some of which is not recorded! 🎶🎶🎻📻 Listen to WETA Clasical online or over the air at 90.9 (always my preference 😃) #classicalmusic weta.org/fm/features/...

you must resist imposter syndrome

something i was listening to yesterday, the poulenc. vic firth on timpani, but poulenc treats it tamely. great recording, and the organ in boston symphony hall is pretty stellar. Also, a rare time i listen to non-opera mozart 😆 and for no real reason other than wanting to hear later mozart pc

Tonight at 9 (in an hour 😆) you can hear some fantastic performances featuring the NSO. This was a fun one to put together with extra music and interviews with Noseda. And if you miss it tonight you can stream it starting tomorrow. weta.org/fm/features/...

I kind of forget about Montsalvatge from time to time, but this is a good recording and I do enjoy him. Angel sent me this, and I always recommend checking out Post Classical Ensemble in DC. Copenhagen… i relisten to this 1x a year, it’s wonderful and the intonation is so good almost unfair 😭 🎻

SOCIALISM WINS!!!!

I’ve been meaning to post more of what i’ve been listening to, and hopefully can find others that do the same. After listening to MTT’s “Meditations on Rilke” 3 times in 24 hours, I naturally needed to re-listen to Mahler’s cycles. Ending with a Das Lied von der Erde I haven’t heard, Boulez/vien

Tonight on Front Row Washington, join me for a performance of octets written by teenagers! Borromeo and Verona join forces for octets from Dumbarton Concerts. weta.org/fm/features/...

Crossposting from my spouse’s studio page, Happy Halloween!

we need healthcare and they sell us snake oil

new episode of Classical Breakdown came out yesterday, all about DEATH in MUSIC! 💀🎶 this was a lot of fun, and was also hard to limit to just 10 examples. from the poignant to grotesque 🗡️🪦⚰️ #music #classicalmusic podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

forever in love with this recording. made the mistake of starting it earlier today knowing i will have to finish it😭 michael tilson thomas has such a way with mahler. i don’t know another who asks so little from the listener, he has you in his hands from the opening notes 🥹

National Chocolate Day today! The history of chocolate dates to when cacao tree was domesticated in Mexico, more than 5,000 years ago. Enjoy it with delicious Classical music this morning on WETA Classical, including a piano caprice for Classical Sunrise 7:31am.

our cruelty has never stopped for some, and it seems our prison/judicial system was set up to do exactly that.

just awful news

this news genuinely ruined my morning, unless this doesn’t affect F1TV. if i have to watch through apple that is awful and i will find a way to not do that 😂

this is realllllllllly nice Especially Quasthoff, they captured something special with him. and the interaction between von Otter and wiener phil is exquisite

“Please someone listen to me, I don’t want to die” These are the words of a woman named Harmonie who had an ectopic pregnancy Her obgyn refused to help, citing a 1% chance the fetus could survive She lives in a blue state & still couldn’t access the life saving care she needed

It was lovely speaking with and hearing Xuefei Yang perform on Classical Breakdown. A living legend, she talked about adapting Satie’s music for guitar, her experience being the first guitar major in her country, and sheer versatility of her instrument. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Listening to Sir Michael Tippet, who died in 1998 and seemed to hate technology and viewed art as something to use and push back against deleterious for humans technology. I wonder what he’d say about Palantir 😆

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

genocide streamed to our phones daily for years now, and we could have stopped it at any moment.

I believe that we are many, And I believe that they are few.

Every day I'm reminded that fascism can't create art. It destroys or appropriates it.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

The newest episode of Classical Breakdown is on Beethoven’s 3rd Symphony, Eroica! It remains one of my favorites from him, the second movement is just out of this world. Let me know if you have a favorite moment 🎶💜 #wetaclassical podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

UPDATE: Mikeno has stopped contact and is assumed intercepted by Israel. Not a single delivery of baby formula will reach the shores of Gaza to try and save a single child's life.

I had a great time speaking with Gianandrea Noseda about Mahler and Beethoven this week at Apple Classical! His new recording of Mahler 7 with the NSO is out now and definitely worth several listens. #todayatapple

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

what a picture! almost surprising to think he carried it this way, but i never really thought about it.

This is pseudoscience. They are mandating the teaching of pseudoscience. Might as well force faculty to teach that like 443 megahertz is a healihg frequency or the earth is flat or whatever. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

A reminder! I’ll be with conductor Gianandrea Noseda this Monday evening at Apple Carnegie Library to talk about a new recording of Mahler’s Symphony No. 7, and features in the Apple Classical app.

I’m getting better at least posting something that happened day of 🎶🎶 Thank you to everyone who listened and donated today during our fall pledge drive, your support means everything 💜 to us at WETA Classical It was fun spending a few hours on air listening to music 🙂

This is possibly the biggest episode we’ve done! Chris DeChiara played so many percussion instruments I can’t remember them all. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

violence is the language these men know and they will use it against any innocent person, woman, or child they feel like it.

Bombing and starving hundreds of thousands of children to death is political violence btw that most major parties seem fine with supporting
