No Snobs Allowed: Anne Midgette Opens a Window

Kodak Hall in Rochester, NY
University of Rochester
Kodak Hall in Rochester, NY

In this excellent guide to listening, writer and critic Anne Midgette (pronounced "mid-JET") offers a fresh perspective on the diverse wonders of classical music.

"Classical music aficionados: Go away. This article is not for you. Instead, it is for everyone who sees classical music as a private club and who feels they’re standing outside the clubhouse. It’s for those who have been to one or two orchestral concerts but are still not quite sure what they’re supposed to be getting out of the experience."

(Please accept our apologies if you run into a firewall.)
