All you need

I just love this podcast. This is “classical” music revealed. I am so proud of these two young musicians. Their love of sound, their love of MUSIC is contagious!

Awesome!

Jordan and Ben are clearly passionate about classical music and know their stuff. They are making this type of genre relatable. I have a feeling they will ignite a spark in younger generations who will listen to it in a whole new way and love it too. And for those who already enjoy it, a fresh perspective.
