I love how it just begins.
Every time you hear it, it's like a long-term friendship that you're returning to someone
you care deeply about. Hi, I'm pianist Emmanuel Axe, but my friends call me Mani. I'm fortunate to count among my friends, some of the greatest artists of our time, like you, Jawan.
“You know, if people are like, "Oh, you should take more time and like, do you hear off my”
girlfriend?"
John Adams, art and particularly music, above and beyond all, music is really about communicating
feeling. And the iconic yo-yo-ma, I think that music, when we're playing, as if we were talking to another, is a conversation, it's a living thing. And some of my favorite memories happen to be, the conversations and laughter we've shared.
“Long after the concert stage has gone dark for the night, usually after a drink or two.”
From WQXR and Carnegie Hall, comes classical music happy-hour, a new podcast hosted by me, Mani Axe. Each episode will speak with a special guest about their lives. Can you please explain what you were doing in a lighthouse, all by yourself, where you collaborating on guiding some ships?
That was my nautical period, Mani, I was nautical. Explore their favorite musical gems. It goes down to these luscious, minor key coffee ground depths. That part to me sounds either like going to hell, or it just sounds like really, really good, pot roast.
So are your classical queries? When do you decide to do an encore?
“If I love John Williams music, what would be some concert pieces that I might enjoy?”
New members that large orchestras yet clicky? And take part in playful musical games, we're here to challenge you today with a game we're calling, is it a composer or is it cheese? Oh, I know this game. This will be quite easy for me because I don't know much about the composers, but I
know I eat a lot of chips. So grab a drink and press play on the new podcasts celebrating our love for all things classical.
The first episode of classical music happy hour drops March 4th.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
