I am so glad I found you!

As a classical music listener, I always feel a bit out of place. Most of my friends listen to pop or rock or other music. When I found out about this podcast, I was super excited! And to find out that there is a magazine devoted to classical music was just the reeling! Please keep the shows coming absolutely love everyone’s pics. Love the music samples.
