Companies Quotes
I think more than anything, you should do what you love. If you love classical playwrights, seek out companies or places that are doing that. If you love modern playwrights, try to find groups who are writing new plays or working on new plays. If you love television, watch as much theater and film as you can.

Core Quotes
Though my poems are about evenly split between traditionally formal work that uses rhyme and meter and classical structure, and work that is freer, I feel that the music of language remains at the core of it all. Sound, rhythm, repetition, compression - these elements of my poetry are also elements of my prose.
-
Barrier Quotes
We're passionate musicians, but we felt classical concerts were more like a funeral because nobody talked and everybody was dressed so conservatively. We thought that's kind of strange, because music is full of life! We thought we could break through that barrier with theater and comedy elements.
-
Audiences Quotes
We go to second, third, fourth, and fifth grades with the different ensembles, ... Last year, we did 90 ensemble programs and seven concerts, reaching 16,000 kids in the classes and performances. We bring them to Richardson Auditorium or the State Theater for our concert in May. There is nothing like a live performance. Hearing a live performance of classical music by professional musicians in a very exciting manner is a wonderful experience. These kids are the audiences of the future.

Catch Quotes
We're going to be exploring how classical music is often taken into movies to supply a little tone or sophistication. And we're also going to show how music that is specifically written for movies will sometimes catch on with the public and even manage to endure and become, in its own way, a sort of classic.

Ancient Quotes
This one should be lots of fun, ... especially hosted by Paul Woodiel, a man with an inquisitive musical spirit. Paul is a classical and theatrical performer and an expert in ancient and traditional fiddle music. Every year, Paul and I tackle another idea, after which Paul finds the musicians and tells the story to his eager audience.

Battle Quotes
Wars will be increasingly more hypocrite, they will pass from the classical battle field to informatics systems counting new eases to be built or that are already built in secret, where there will be rockets with increasingly greater destruction potential.All this are a part of the future and of the present of mankind, precisely because no nation wants to be trampled by those who rule mankind leading it to an increasing misery. In a world where many do not even know what to do with so much luxury and fortune, people are starving or dying on the streets, some even on the steps of the churches that promise them a better life in heavens, omitting to say that the earthly one may be improved if precisely the churches did not support the world order that is so unfair and makes so many victims nowadays.

Bridge Quotes
Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building -- like Tower Bridge -- or a classical front put on a steel frame -- like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living -- not something added, like sugar on a pill.

Cool Quotes
Even as I pursued a doctorate in the history of ideas in my native Denmark, I realized I had neither the encyclopedic training nor the passion for cool logic - not to mention the nerve - to follow in the footsteps of classical liberal philosophers and economists such as Robert Nozick, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton Friedman.
-
Both Quotes
I've seen both upbeat and slower music score really high. If it's obvious someone is doing a classical violin piece and the gymnast is bouncing all over, that's not going to score high. But the crowd gets into the high-energy stuff and when everyone gets into it, I think that has an effect on the score.
-
Broader Quotes
I've made rock records, classical records, jazz records, dub records. It always surprises me that people's own listening taste ranges from pop to hip-hop to jazz to rock, but if you're a musician who's been successful in one style, people won't let you have broader musical interests. It's ridiculous, really.
-
Along Quotes
Pran Nath always encouraged me to do my own composition and experiments with Western classical music, along with the pure study of Indian classical music. I think he also felt that something of this depth could also be assimilated in America and would be uniquely our own, since it's been transplanted here.
-
Absolutely Quotes
Now, if the principle of toleration were once admitted into classical education --if it were admitted that the great object is to read and enjoy a language, and the stress of the teaching were placed on the few things absolutely essential to this result, if the tortoise were allowed time to creep, and the bird permitted to fly, and the fish to swim, towards the enchanted and divine sources of Helicon --all might in their own way arrive there, and rejoice in its flowers, its beauty, and its coolness.

Bring Quotes
During the course of a year I work with a lot of different Indian musicians, often in situations where I'm playing more of a classical Indian performance, ... At the same time, as a writer and composer I'm trying to figure out how to bring in some of the abstraction that exists in jazz.
-
Ballet Quotes
Ballet is just a vocabulary like English. Most classical ballets emphasize how high a woman can hold her leg, how skinny she is and all the tricks she can do. She may not ever have to express anything but extreme happiness or sadness. These ballets rarely interpret life. They are fables with princesses and fairies.
-
Anyone Quotes
A woman who lived the classical era of Hollywood, Ms. Phillips' experiences were such that her story will forever remain unique, and in my opinion, tremendously fascinating. Phillips' lectures are compelling to not just film majors, but anyone with an appreciation and fondness for the power and magic of the moving image.

Bit Quotes
There's a bit of a new guard of contemporary classical musicians in New York, and we play a lot of different kinds of music together. We do pop studio sessions, and we'll also play John Cage and more avant-garde work. We're developing a language of music that comes with a lot of different styles, different kinds of work.
-
Couple Quotes
I took classical piano for a couple of years, but I sort of lost interest - I couldn't read a note today if I tried. I still enjoy that stuff, and I think I naturally gravitate towards the classical licks; in fact, I know that I do. I gravitate towards the classical licks that I heard by famous old composers.
-
Appetite Quotes
It?s a great surprise to me -- a good surprise, ... In China I know they have an appetite to do classical music, but the standard was low until five years ago. Now, boom, something happened, because all the good people are young, like 17, 18 or 19. They were not around five years ago.
-
Grew Quotes
It's perfect for me, ... It's a period piece, and I'm totally in love with period pieces. And that it is about this woman who was a classical prodigy, who grew up in Harlem, where I grew up, who is obviously half-black and half-white, like I am, who studied classical (music), like I did. But the twist comes in for me, obviously, because the time period had so much tension.
-
Chicago Quotes
The Norris is delighted to present the West Suburban Symphony Orchestra and Singers. This concert not only showcases one of the finest classical ensembles in the Chicago area, but it offers the local community a perfect way to observe the historic milestone of Mozart's 250th birthday.

Ages Quotes
Everyone in my family sings and it's just a natural thing that I haven't thought about too much. There was never a time when I wasn't singing. From the ages of three to five I loved Gloria Estefan and could sing Anything for You pitch-perfect. Mum and dad loved classical music and my grampy used to sing show tunes. Now I like everything from the Manic Street Preachers to Alicia Keys, some classical music if I'm feeling melancholy, and I'm not too fussed on rap although I can deal with 50 Cent. Mainly my musical tastes seem to change with each new boyfriend. I'm so fickle at this age.
