Happy belated 88th birthday to the Hollywood Bowl! 

 

From Charleston’s Schoenbaum Stage to the Levitt Shell at Overton Park in Memphis, I’ve been enjoying outdoor concert stages recently. I would love to go to the Hollywood Bowl sometime, but for now I’ll just have to settle for watching a movie about it. 

The documentary The Hollywood Bowl: Music Under the Stars is available free online, and it’s completely distracted me from whatever else I was trying to do before leaving for the weekend. You can watch it here.

Since we started this blog in 2008, we’ve interviewed many people connected to classical music, some who live in or are from West Virginia; others have visited to make music here or just were heard here on the radio. Performers, composers, conductors, teachers, authors, producers…it’s been wonderful to speak with them all and to have the opportunity to share these conversations with you. 

These interviews are scattered throughout the blog archives, so I’ve always been frustrated that they might not always be easy to find. I've finally created a directory to guide you to these interviews; you can find links to all of our classical music interviews all on one page: the Classically Speaking Interview Index.     

Check it out!  Find a favorite interview, or browse to find something new. 

I’ll be sure to keep it updated as we publish more interviews, and I welcome any suggestions for improving usability.

Enjoy, and have a great weekend! :)
