Love the pod! I’m a company dancer and accompanist with the Kansas City Ballet. I am so grateful for your work, and counting down the days until the next performance with the ballet. In the meantime, thanks for the great stories. 😊
My wife and I are KC Symphony Masterworks subscribers and are in the midst of orchestral withdrawal. This podcast helps tide us over until the time comes that we are back in row G listening to our marvelous symphony. Love Mr. Gordon especially—great commentary with a wise and humorous slant!
This is a delightful podcast that will appeal to symphony-philes as well as those less familiar with classical music. I really hope they’ll continue this!
I don’t always think to go to the pre-show talks and these podcasts fit the bill. Needs more cow bell.
I enjoy listening to your stories! Thanks Jason, Stephanie and Mike.
