Dear Jade Thank you so much for your podcasts. It is such a blessing bringing me to the time as if I am living during that music era. My father loved to study music but his dream was never accomplished because his father had passed away when he was 10. But when my father was alive he always listened to classical music and listening to your podcasts brings me to the memories of my father. I wish my beloved father had listened to your podcast. They are a true blessing. Thank you for your love and appreciation of classical music. My father listened to Andre Rieu a lot towards his last days. God Bless You
Fascinating new favorite

Soothing and stimulating at the same time this podcast is so refreshing. I just started piano lessons at 40 and learning about the lives of famous classical composers I’m learning to play feels so approachable. Jade Simmons has an expert but inviting way of telling these stories. I love it!
More episodes please!
