For decades, Tom Allen has been boosting the nation's knowledge of classical music. He’s the host of the CBC music show “About Time,” as well as a musician and concert host. But now, Tom has turned his attention to a new format: the almanac. His book “Tom Allen's Classical Musick Almynack” takes a look at classical music over the course of a calendar year, including key dates, facts and stories for each month, along with recipes, quizzes and musical activities. Tom sits down with Tom Power to tell us why he wanted to embrace this old calendar form, and why he’s so keen to spread the word when it comes to classical music.
