Their bones morphed into one another. They spoke the same syllables on top of one another, and they were cast out in the middle where they tore the plastic off their new shirts and tossed them in the washer in the year 1998.” It’s an era of unprecedented...

With hair flying as he conducts, his hand and arm movements morph into a continuous stream of hops and goofy dancing. In breaking free from the seriousness of traditional conductors, he is both humorous and demonstrative of the fact that classical music can be fun.Thanks to Kapilow’s lessons, the crucial elements of “Eine kleine Nachtmusik?...
