Any #classicalMusicians out here on the fediverse? Would love to connect! Classical Twitter still seems mostly on Twitter.
I'm a Montréal-based amateur cellist & #composer. I also play flute, voice, and dabbling in guitar, recorder, melodica, and others. Lots of #Baroque and #RomanticMusic, trying to discover more #NewMusic.
I'm always looking for more gender-marginalised, #queer and #BIPOC representation in classical music!

bff: big Fauré fan
dm: dear Mozart

pda: play Debussy already
rotfl: Rossini operas that feel lit
The music of Starfield is epic and grand, perfectly setting the tone for the game. For @TheConversationUS, orchestra director J. Aaron Hardwick explains how it, and the scores for other video games such as Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Civilization IV, are drawing new audiences to classical music.
Transcendent Music - I love to listen to this when working on my photos. My violin teacher transposed this for me, but it just wasn't the same as listening to the great Yo Yo Ma. What do you listen to when creating art?
I started out on the fediverse arooooound...I wanna say 2017/18 mebbe? My big start in social media was MySpace. Before that, I had a LiveJournal (which I miss mightily with all my heart). My very first computer was a Gateway PC, back when they shipped them to you in those awesome cow spot pattern boxes. I am trying to de-google my life.
I'm #ADHD and suffer from #dysthymia. I'm currently unmedicated. I can be damned moody at times, so there's your warning.
Religiously/spiritually speaking, I'm complicated. That will be a long post, when I get around to writing it. My general rule is: I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, and that's cool. Not everybody's thing is my thing, and that's cool. Just don't be a wanker towards those whose thing ain't your thing. OM 🕉
I'm 57 years old and have come to the conclusion that we never truly appreciate the decades we grew up in until we hit middle age.
I'm single and childless, hence my user tag: TheLastOfHisName.

Musical Interlude: I've had spring on the brain today, and here's a piece that has always sung of springtime to me. I guess it could easily indicate something else to other listeners, but for me, it speaks of the gentle warmth of a spring day.
