Today is the 125th birthday of composer Aaron Copland here with his lifelong friend legendary composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein.
Have you no time to sit down to read? My book The Cello Still Sings is available as an audiobook, and now through the end of November it is 50% off. A bonus at the end includes my performance of the beautiful cello piece by Max Bruch Kol Nidre. I hope you’ll consider it. Thank you.
