Every Monday morning at 9:15, I join John Birge on Classical MPR to discuss stories we're featuring on our website. Here are the stories we'll be talking about today.

Does some music speak particularly to the older soul? When Rena Kraut found it hard to communicate the profundity of Sibelius to her young students, she started to wonder.

Golden-Globe-winning composer Jóhann Jóhannsson is set to premiere his new oratorio at the Metropolitan Museum's Temple of Dendur. Here's why.

​As we continue to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Disney's Fantasia, I wrote about the pioneering abstract animation that opens the film—and Michael Barone weighed in with some thoughts on the accompanying music​, Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
