20150211_a-spring-wedding

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

Classical music is the perfect accompaniment to a wedding, whether you go Baroque or relish the Romantic. Clara Wang and I suggest an appropriate piece from every era.

Corina Bernstein shares a moving reminisce about how her parents raised her to love music—from Beethoven to the Beatles.

The Minnesota Orchestra is heading to Cuba this week, and clarinetist Rena Kraut—a freelance musician—will be playing with the orchestra and writing about her experiences. As an introduction, she wrote about how she came to be making music in Minnesota​.
