Each Monday morning at 9:15, I join John Birge on Classical MPR to talk about stories we're featuring on our website. Here are the stories we'll be discussing today.
Remember when violinist Vanessa-Mae put her music career on pause to pursue a lifelong dream of competitive skiing? Well, there's no word on whether she's planning to pick her violin up again, but her skiing career has ended ignominiously — for at least four years.
When electronics magnate Avery Fisher donated $10.5 million in 1973, Lincoln Center promised to name the New York Philharmonic's home after Fisher "in perpetuity." Perpetuity, it seems, has now come to an end.
'Tis the season to give thanks, and hornist Gwen Hoberg asked some of her colleagues who they were feeling thankful for. They named teachers, students, and fellow musicians — but Gwen herself named an unsung hero of the orchestra.
