Every 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.
Chopin is buried in Paris, but his heart is entombed in his native Poland. On April 14, we've just discovered, the heart was secretly exhumed to be sure it remained preserved as it floats in alcohol. The heart, it turns out, is doing just fine.
How do you introduce children to classical music? We had two parents' perspectives this week: John Hierlinger wrote about bringing his kids to a family concert by the SPCO, and Carl Atiya Swanson wrote about the soundtrack of fatherhood.
The deadline for submitting to Minnesota Varsity is coming up — don't delay if you want to be the next Aria Stiles, an Apple Valley violinist who's now in the running to be Miss Tennessee.
