Click on Classical: Soloists who slalom, Mozart in the Jungle, and instrument insurance

Every Monday morning at 9:15, I pop on Classical MPR to talk about stories we're featuring on our website. Here are the stories Melissa Ousley and I will be discussing today.

Last week we discussed composers who were athletes, but classical music has a deeper bench than that:many prominent performers are skilled athletes as well.
Speaking with Sheila Regan, Mozart in the Jungle​ author Blair Tindall defended her controversial memoir against charges of inaccuracy, and shared her thoughts on what it's been like to see her book turned into an online TV series.
When we profiled a local musician who had to crowd-fund her cello repairs, it brought attention to the topic of instrument insurance. What are the options​ for classical musicians who want to protect themselves against financial and professional calamity?
