We love stories, and we love music. We're also keenly aware that classical music has a well-deserved reputation for being boring and unapproachable. Is it possible that sharing the true, unbelievable stories behind some of the world's most famous classical works (and non-classical, down the road), will be the first step towards repairing that reputation? We've set out to give it a try. 

We dive into the  narrative behind works like The Barber of Seville and Beethoven's Ninth to uncover little-known historical facts that you won't find in a text book or hear in a lecture. In short, we tell fascinating stories. They happen to be about classical music. 

We want our listeners to arrive curious, remain riveted, and leave informed. We want them to be the most interesting people out there. 

And we want to inspire a renewed interest in classical music.
