The Classics a Day team unanimously decided to make #BlackLivesMatter the theme for July. Classical music isn’t immune to systemic racism. It’s an art form that, like painting, sculpture, literature, or poetry, is a powerful form of expression for many voices. But some voices are heard more often than others. If you’d like to learn […]

#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalBubble Week 4
Last month, the Classics a Day team came up with a theme to reflect the reality of social distancing.

Social bubbles are small groups of […]
