musical journey

Join us for a special holiday edition of "Three Good Things" as we unwrap a unique and obscure collection of Christmas songs as gifts just for you. Hosted by Scott Jagow, this festive episode features unconventional Christmas tunes with a common thread waiting to be deciphered. From Bjork's 1987 enchanting Icelandic melody to The Presidents of the United States of America's humorous rendition of "Christmas Piglet," explore the curious and less-known tunes that are sure to bring holiday cheer.  

Ever hiked with a world-class violinist? Picture yourself climbing the challenging Reeves Brook Trail, accompanied by none other than the vibrant Daisy Jopling, a classical and rock violinist and a human symphony of inspiration. As we ascend, Daisy’s stories of her artistic lineage, her passionate journey into the world of music, and her admirable ventures in mentorship resonate with the beauty of the environment around us. She brings to light the value of personal success, the power of struggle, and the pitfalls of control.

Now imagine, you're not just walking with Daisy, you're stepping into her world. This world is a melange of music, spirituality, and a dash of past life beliefs. As the hike progresses, we're taken on an intimate journey through her decision to face fear head-on when offered a record deal, and her emphasis on the transformative power of single-minded focus. We also touch upon some of the most human experiences in performing, like forgetting while playing Bach, and performing under duress. Daisy's world is one of balance and perseverance, of light and darkness, and ultimately, of personal growth.

As we near the end of our hike, we find ourselves discussing concerts in exotic locations, like pyramids, and Daisy's intriguing talent for singing. In a moment of pure inspiration, Daisy opens up about her most challenging experiences and her continued support for arts healing programs in Egypt. It’s not just a hike, it’s a spiritual and enlightening journey with Daisy Jopling. Get ready to be inspired, challenged, and above all, to enjoy the music of life with every step of the way. Lace up your hiking boots (or your sparkly gold and silver chucks like Daisy); it's time to take this hike together.

Join us for a compelling discussion about the importance of score study for conductors and its impact on ensemble players. 

Listen in as we share our unique perspectives, including Tom's insight as a player and Ingrid's transition from starting with recordings to starting with the score. We both emphasize the need to approach score study with a clear vision of the ideal version of the piece, instead of being swayed by the current ensemble's limitations. 

The conversation continues as we explore the art of music interpretation, starting with the score and no instrument. Tune in as we discuss the importance of making informed choices and using the score as a performance outline. We also highlight the benefits of listening to multiple recordings for variety, avoiding getting stuck on a single version. 

Lastly, we delve into the significance of imagination in interpreting music and the role of recordings in preparation for a performance. Get inspired as we discuss creating a clear mental orchestra to develop a personal interpretation of a piece.
