This week on the Pop Life Podcast we meet a classic musician who first performed in public when he was just five years old and is still making music, most recently releasing an album of his interpretations of classic standards called True Love: A Celebration of Cole Porter. Harry Connick Jr stops by the Pop Life bar to talks about his earliest musical memories, the massive success of his When Harry Met Sally soundtrack and how he narrowed down Cole Porter’s library of hundreds of songs to the 13 that appear on the record. 

Then, listen as Antoni Cimolino, the Stratford Festival’s Artistic Director, Simon Rivard, RBC Resident Conductor of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Conductor of the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra and Alina Solomon the Chef/owner of the restaurant Tutti Matti… and also a wizard of classic Italian cooking.. break down why the classics are not only important but often just as timely today as when they were first created.

You can catch Pop Life every Saturday night at 8:30 pm on CTV NewsChannel and midnight on CTV… we’d love you to join us.
