I'm just firing in a couple of subjects to start new threads.

 

this new thread....

 

do younglin's think classical music is cool?

 

(like some of us oldies do?)

[Mihaela]

I'm an oldie, but I still thought it was cool as a child. My love affair with classical music began very early, when listening to my mother playing Chopin on the piano.

My musical tastes have never changed and are very eclectic, but for music (and any art form) to truly mean something to me it must either be intrinsically 'poetic' and moving, or evoke memories from episodes of my life.

Yeah, duh. Freddie Mercury was a fan of all the classical music stars when he was alive. Plus the music, unlike modern artists, use technical skill which is much more commendable.

I'm taking my son, (15) to a violin concert in 2 weeks - he asked to go - not strictly classical, as is electric violin, but he loves it. The musician is called Lindsay Stirling.

There are still modern artists who use technical skill, and a lot of it at that
