A collaboration of: “The Classic Music Mafia”
nkit, and Steve C.
Every Sunday morning we present selections for our TBP family to enjoy.
We present symphonies, ensembles, quartets, octets, etc.
Not all of our music is strictly ‘classical’. We may stray a little, but we strive to make all of our selections ‘classy’.
We offer tips on proper ‘symphony etiquette’ and even some selections that are a bit light-hearted and fun aimed at a younger audience. Those pieces will be so designated, and might be a good way to introduce kids to a world of music that they might not have been exposed to or think of as old and ‘stuffy’.
A full symphony will run as long as it will. We don’t want to cut a symphony short. However, we also include some shorter pieces that we try to keep under fifteen minutes in length. You can sample each and hopefully find one or more that pleases you.
We hope that you enjoy our Sunday selections.

HAR HAR HAR good Sir,
Notice I did not discriminate against Khatia and her other friends here. Notice the clips when she was just a mere child prodigy.
I’m not sure this deserved its own separate thread …. soooo, I’m sticking it here. Hope I don’t piss anyone off.
Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of Radiohead’s “OK Computer” …. considered by some to be the best album of all time.
I just discovered your program. On The Burning Platform!?! I love it! Good work! Thank you!
Welcome Cassandra.
We are here for you every Sunday.
And thanks for your kind words…
Child doing Mozart!!! To priceless not to share.
