For many people – including Charlie and Nate – studying classical piano as a child always felt like a chore. Now, as adults, there's a newfound appreciation for classical music, but the art form isn't always accessible. One of the people trying to change that is the world-renowned pianist Lang Lang, classical piano's greatest interpreter. On this episode of Switched on Pop, Charlie sits down with Lang Lang at the Steinway showroom in New York City to see how taste changes over time, the different ways a master pianist can interpret a work, and ultimately, why classical music is still important.

 Four years ago, a Portland Jewish family’s home was destroyed in an arson. As they got rid of all their burned belongings, the one thing they couldn’t bear to do was toss out with the rest of the burned remains a 100 year-old Steinway grand piano that had belonged to “Grandma Bess.” Much of it was intact, though not restorable. They reached out to musicians and artists and ultimately found their way to Jennifer Wright. She’s a classical pianist by training, a composer and a sound artist who works with found instruments and other objects.    The family, who wants to keep their identity private, worked with Wright over the following two  years on turning the grand piano into a mixed media exhibit, including a newly formed glass piano and textile art made with the burned strings. In a statement that is included in the exhibit, the family wrote: “Seeing the piano transformed from a burned and destroyed object into the foundations of new instruments, furniture, art, beauty, and community awareness is a balm for the wounds of waste and loss. … Finding connectedness is an antidote to hate.”   We listen back to our visit to the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education to see the mixed media exhibit and talk with artist Jennifer Wright and OJMCHE director Rebekha Sobel. This segment originally aired on May 31, 2024.  

HT2687 - You Must Have a Really Good Camera How do these kinds of notions become so wide spread? If I owned a Steinway, would that make me an accomplished pianist? Would a fancier fountain pen make me a better novelist? Of course not. But then we often think a better camera might be the answer to improving our photographs — perpetuating the myth that the tool makes the image. If not a new camera, what should we do to improve our art? Answer: Finish more projects and study the history of art. This RSS feed includes only the most recent seven Here's a Thought episodes.

¿Sabes exactamente qué es un “One-Hit-Wonder”? Seguramente estés muy familiarizado con este término en la industria musical. Se trata de ese artista o grupo que, casi por arte de magia, alcanza un éxito brutal a nivel mundial con un único tema que suena en todas las emisoras, pero que nunca jamás logra repetir ese nivel de popularidad en el resto de su carrera. Pasan a la historia por una sola obra y luego desaparecen. Pero, ¿crees que en el mundo tan técnico y complejo del diseño del automóvil existen también los “One-Hit-Wonders”? La respuesta es un rotundo sí. ¿Cómo es posible que alguien trace una línea perfecta y luego se hunda en la absoluta intrascendencia? Hoy vamos a rescatar a esos genios que, tras tocar el cielo con un solo coche, terminaron diseñando objetos mundanos. En la historia del automóvil todos conocemos de sobra a los grandes titanes del diseño: Bertone, Gandini, Giugiaro, Pininfarina. Son creadores inagotables con listas de éxitos larguísimas. Sin embargo, existe otra estirpe muy peculiar de diseñadores. En el sector del motor esto es especialmente cruel. Diseñar un coche no es solo dibujar algo bonito; es una pelea a muerte con la física, con los costes de producción y con los ingenieros. Pasar de diseñar el superdeportivo más codiciado del planeta a terminar trazando el frontal de un coche económico o electrodomésticos tiene que ser un golpe al ego dificilísimo de digerir. Nuestra historia de genialidades fugaces comienza justo después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Estados Unidos quería el "Coche del Mañana", y Preston Tucker encargó a George S. Lawson envolver un chasis demencial. Lawson diseñó para el Tucker 48 una carrocería con un coeficiente aerodinámico asombroso de 0.27, integrando el mítico "ojo de cíclope" direccional y medidas de seguridad impensables en aquella época. Tras peleas internas, abandonó el proyecto y su rastro se perdió. El hombre que aterrorizó a Detroit no volvió a pisar la élite automotriz. Años más tarde, BMW bordeaba la quiebra y necesitaba un milagro. El conde alemán Albrecht von Goertz fue el elegido para trazar el legendario BMW 507. Goertz concibió una obra de artesanía en aluminio de una belleza tan arrebatadora que obligaba a moldear cada panel a mano. El resultado era espectacular, pero sus inmensos costes de producción casi hunden a la marca. Tras este innegable éxito estético absoluto, Goertz terminó diseñando pianos Steinway, cámaras fotográficas y hasta mobiliario de oficina. El diseño japonés también tiene sus propios héroes. En 1967, Satoru Nozaki demostró que Japón no solo copiaba a Occidente creando el brillante Toyota 2000GT. Nozaki diseñó una silueta extremadamente baja y fluida, logrando que un coche japonés fuera considerado por primera vez una verdadera obra de arte a nivel global. Sin embargo, tras firmar este hito histórico, Nozaki fue absorbido por la gigantesca jerarquía corporativa de Toyota y nunca volvió a firmar una obra maestra con su nombre propio. En 1970, el futurismo extremo tomó forma gracias a Paolo Martin, trabajando para Pininfarina. Usando el chasis de un Ferrari de carreras, creó el asombroso Ferrari Modulo. No era un coche, era una declaración de guerra a cualquier convención: sin puertas convencionales, con un techo completo que se deslizaba hacia adelante y ruedas totalmente carenadas. Está también el caso de la cumbre técnica: el McLaren F1 de 1992. Gordon Murray fue el indudable padre intelectual, pero Peter Stevens fue quien esculpió su perfecta carrocería de materiales aeroespaciales para ser estable a 390 kilómetros por hora sin grandes alerones. Tras tocar el techo absoluto de la automoción, el cruel destino industrial llevó a Stevens a trabajar en el restyling de la decadente MG Rover, intentando poner faldones modernos a coches ya desfasados. Y no podemos olvidar a Ken Okuyama. En el año 2004 logró lo impensable: ser el primer diseñador no italiano en liderar la creación de un Ferrari de serie. Rompió con las curvas clásicas y apostó por la funcionalidad aerodinámica extrema para crear el Ferrari Enzo, un verdadero shock visual. Aunque posteriormente fundó su propia firma de diseño, su gran impacto en la cultura popular global quedó congelado en aquel preciso e irrepetible instante. En definitiva, estos fascinantes relatos nos enseñan que, en el diseño de coches, a veces los astros se alinean con un presupuesto generoso, una marca audaz y un artista inspirado. Lo verdaderamente difícil en este despiadado sector no es llegar a la cima una vez, sino conseguir quedarse en ella cuando la industria exige dejar de soñar y empezar a hacer números. Estos nombres ya tienen su lugar eterno en el olimpo, aunque solo haya sido por el destello de un solo coche.

A día de hoy, los pianistas consideran al piano de cola Steinway como el mejor del mundo. Todavía siguen fabricándose prácticamente de forma artesanal en sus factorías de Nueva York y Hamburgo a partir de más de 12.000 piezas individuales. Este programa relata la historia de Heinrich Engelhardt Steinweg, que emigró a Nueva York a mediados del siglo XIX y se convirtió en el fabricante de pianos más famoso de todos los tiempos. La figura de Henry Steinway es hoy una leyenda inmortal. Mediante filmaciones, material de archivo y entrevistas con historiadores y descendientes de Henry Steinway, dibujamos un excitante retrato de la lucha por la supervivencia en el Nueva York del siglo XIX y cómo un pequeño negocio familiar pasó a convertirse en la marca de pianos más famosa del mundo

Giorgi Gigashvili – live am SteinwayDiesmal kein Gespräch, sondern ein Konzert.Am 4. Juni eröffnete Giorgi Gigashvili die Seazen Travel Talks «Schweiz & Shanghai» im AP House Zürich. ECHO Rising Star, BBC New Generation Artist – an diesem Abend am Steinway & Sons «Noé», einem von 88 Instrumenten weltweit. Was folgte, war kein Programm, sondern eine Reise: von Klassik zu Walzer, weiter zu Jazz, Boogie, Blues, Folk – und wieder zurück. Vieles improvisiert, alles in eigenem Stil. Durch die Zeit, durch die Genres.Ein Gast brachte es danach auf den Punkt: «Alle kamen von der Arbeit, jeder von irgendwo. Die einen gestresst, die anderen relaxt. Alle redeten viel, waren aufgeregt. Nach seinem Konzert waren wir geerdet und schwangen auf derselben Frequenz.»Diese Aufnahme teilen wir mit dem Einverständnis von Giorgi Gigashvili und mit der Unterstützung von Musik Hug. Mit einem Intro von Uli Maybach, der schon durch den Abend selbst führte.Danke, dass wir diesen Moment festhalten durften. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Durante décadas, Armande de Polignac permaneceu praticamente ausente da história da música. O seu nome desapareceu dos programas de concerto e muitas obras sobreviveram apenas em manuscritos dispersos. Agora, os pianistas Bruno Belthoise e João Costa Ferreira recuperam a compositora num disco que inclui primeiras gravações mundiais, revelando uma figura essencial da transição entre o romantismo tardio e a modernidade musical francesa do início do século XX. Esquecida durante mais de um século, Armande de Polignac regressa agora através de um disco de Bruno Belthoise e João Costa Ferreira, dedicado a manuscritos reencontrados e primeiras gravações mundiais. Entre simbolismo, impressionismo e modernismo do início do século XX, o álbum revela uma compositora singular, cuja obra foi apagada da memória musical apesar da originalidade, da estética e da proximidade aos grandes centros artísticos franceses do início do século XX. “A música de Armande de Polignac é realmente uma coisa para descobrir”, começa por contar Bruno Belthoise. Para o pianista francês, a compositora pertence a um momento decisivo da cultura europeia, em que as mulheres começaram lentamente a conquistar espaço no universo da criação musical. “Ela fazia parte de uma família muito dedicada às artes e à música” e iniciou “muito jovem” os seus estudos musicais. Sobretudo, acrescenta Bruno Belthoise, pertenceu a uma geração que beneficiou de mudanças profundas na sociedade francesa: “Nos séculos antigos era quase impossível ser mulher compositora.” Bruno Belthoise recorda que o início do século XX coincidiu com a abertura gradual das grandes instituições musicais às mulheres. “Ela aproveitou uma dinâmica muito importante”, explica, referindo-se ao momento em que compositoras passaram a poder apresentar-se ao Prix de Rome. “Estas mulheres começaram a ser mais conhecidas no início do século XX.” Embora Armande de Polignac nunca tenha concorrido ao prémio, desenvolveu uma carreira intensa e ligada ao meio musical parisiense. “Ela dedicou a vida inteira à composição”, sublinha Bruno Belthoise. Estudou com figuras fundamentais da música francesa, entre elas Vincent d'Indy, Eugène Gigout e Gabriel Fauré. “Deixou uma obra muito importante, quase 200 obras em todos os domínios”, acrescenta. Música para piano, música de câmara, obras orquestrais, ópera e ballet fazem parte de um catálogo hoje ainda pouco conhecido. A compositora dirigiu igualmente as suas próprias obras no Théâtre du Châtelet, em Paris, e estreou a ópera Petite Sirène na Opéra de Nice. Para Bruno Belthoise, Armande de Polignac “simboliza a passagem entre a música romântica e a música moderna francesa”, num território onde convivem o impressionismo, o simbolismo e as novas linguagens do século XX. Ainda assim, a compositora acabou por desaparecer quase totalmente da memória musical europeia. “As suas obras não foram muito divulgadas, não foram muito editadas”, lamenta Bruno Belthoise. Grande parte da produção permaneceu inédita ou acessível apenas através de manuscritos. “Mesmo apesar de poder participar na programação de concertos em Paris, as mulheres não eram muito destacadas.” Ao ouvir o disco, a ausência prolongada na história da música de Armande de Polignac torna-se difícil de compreender. João Costa Ferreira descreve uma música construída sobre timbres delicados e ressonâncias quase suspensas. “Quando ouvimos Nos Jardins do Palácio do Sultão, sentimos esse universo tímbrico muito especial”, explica. O pianista português destaca ainda a importância do instrumento utilizado na gravação: “Havia um Steinway cujas características permitiam certas coisas que outros pianos não permitem.” A estética de Armande de Polignac revela uma forte influência do exotismo francês do início do século XX. João Costa Ferreira fala numa “procura por cores de países longínquos, como o mundo árabe e sobretudo o mundo asiático”. A compositora escreveu obras inspiradas na China, no Japão e nas atmosferas orientais das Mil e Uma Noites. “Ela seguia essa corrente estética modernista da procura por essas sonoridades exóticas”, acrescenta. Segundo João Costa Ferreira, essa linguagem resulta tanto do ambiente artístico parisiense como da influência directa dos mestres com quem Armande de Polignac estudou. “Vê-se claramente a influência dos seus pares e da sua época”, observa. A tradição impressionista francesa, marcada por Debussy e pelas Exposições Universais de Paris, atravessa muitas destas obras. Ainda assim, as referências nunca surgem como mera imitação. Há ecos de Fauré, Debussy ou mesmo de certas escolas russas, mas a escrita mantém sempre uma identidade própria. Bruno Belthoise enquadra essa diversidade no ambiente cultural extremamente aberto do início do século XX. “Era tudo aberto no início do século XX”, afirma. “Tchaikovsky chegou a Paris no fim do século XIX, Gustav Mahler no início do século XX. Essa convergência era importante para desenvolver a imaginação dos compositores.” Na escrita pianística, Bruno Belthoise identifica “uma mistura entre romantismo e modernismo”, associada a um trabalho particularmente sofisticado sobre a ressonância sonora. “Da maneira francesa, havia realmente este desenvolvimento do piano através das ressonâncias do instrumento”, explica. “Mas também a parte russa desenvolveu muito a escrita para piano.” Para João Costa Ferreira, interpretar estas partituras implica uma experiência rara no mundo contemporâneo da música clássica: tocar obras praticamente sem memória auditiva acumulada. “Hoje em dia, quando interpretamos Chopin ou Beethoven, temos todas as referências auditivas dessas obras”, explica. “Aqui criamos uma interpretação a partir do nada.” Esse desafio tornou-se central no percurso artístico dos dois pianistas. “Sentimos que estamos a descobrir algo pela primeira vez”, afirma João Costa Ferreira. “Propor uma primeira escuta, uma primeira interpretação de algo que nunca foi ouvido, pelo menos nos últimos cem anos, é muito estimulante.” Bruno Belthoise partilha a mesma visão. “Procurar repertório diferente é importante para nós”, diz. “Descobrir obras novas é uma coisa muito estimulante.” Esse trabalho de redescoberta já levou os dois pianistas a explorar repertórios esquecidos de compositores como José Vianna da Motta, Fernando Lopes-Graça ou Gabriel Fauré. Mas este disco surge também de uma dimensão pessoal. Bruno Belthoise revela que a ideia do projecto nasceu de “duas influências diferentes”. A primeira foi o pianista francês Laurent Martin, figura central na recuperação de compositoras francesas esquecidas. “O Laurent Martin gravou muitos discos e interpretou muitas vezes compositoras francesas”, recorda Bruno Belthoise. “Ele confiou-me uma quantidade de partituras dela, perguntando-me se eu estaria interessado em trabalhar a obra de Armande de Polignac para a fazer conhecer”. Essa transmissão entre músicos revelou-se decisiva para o projecto. Laurent Martin, conhecido pelo trabalho de investigação em torno do romantismo francês e das compositoras esquecidas, funcionou como verdadeiro impulsionador da redescoberta de Armande de Polignac. A segunda influência surgiu em Lisboa, através de uma descoberta inesperada. Um manuscrito de Cloches, ligado à família Assis de Barros, apareceu nas mãos de Bruno Belthoise graças ao investigador João Pedro Mendes dos Santos. “Foi exactamente como um arqueólogo”, admite o pianista francês. “Esse manuscrito surgiu completamente sem preparação e caiu nas minhas mãos.” A descoberta revelou uma ligação pouco conhecida entre Armande de Polignac e Portugal. “Ela tinha uma ligação particular à família Assis de Barros e visitou Lisboa várias vezes”, explica Bruno Belthoise. O disco inclui ainda várias obras para piano a quatro mãos, formação que exige uma relação muito específica entre intérpretes. “Tocar a quatro mãos é uma coisa de que gosto imenso”, afirma Bruno Belthoise. “É um pequeno exercício de equilibrismo.” A proximidade física obriga a reinventar gestos, movimentos e respirações. “É muito importante ensaiar juntos”, acrescenta. “Não podemos fazer piano a quatro mãos sem esse trabalho comum.” Para João Costa Ferreira, essa construção colectiva faz parte da própria identidade artística do duo. “Este desafio é completamente diferente do que gravar o grande repertório canónico”, afirma. Depois da edição do álbum, seguem-se agora concertos em Lisboa, Tavira, Madeira e França. Bruno Belthoise interpretou igualmente obras para piano solo de Armande de Polignac em Saint-Leu-la-Forêt, no Val-d'Oise, no passado 30 de Maio.

In this episode, Dula and myself go over our trip to New York. Actually, it was both of our first time being in a story of Queens. Thank you to CARLOS from classic material. Who invited us to A Biggie Smalls vinyl party at connect sports lounge in Astoria Queens on Steinway. We met many a hip-hop legend as well as brought one of our own. We even discussed Michael B Jordan and him winning the Oscar as well as a little talk about paradise. Not too much of a spoiler just a quick update. Enjoy.

Let's talk about the week you're probably having… Petrol prices have hit $2 a litre – and heading higher – thanks to the US-Israel strikes on Iran disrupting global oil supply. Cost-of-living anxiety is back with a vengeance. And Afterpay Day officially kicks off on the 19th, though half the brands on your feed have already launched early. Your sales data is probably already softening as consumers sit tight and wait for the deals. So the question on every brand founder's lips right now: do I discount? The honest answer isn't yes or no. It's it depends entirely on how you do it. RM Williams runs percentage-off promotions occasionally. Their brand is completely intact. Adore Beauty discounted frequently after their ASX float and watched margins fall to almost nothing. David Jones once had a tuxedo-wearing pianist on a Steinway in their ground floor – and made a deliberate decision to never, ever call their promotions a "Sale." Same tool. Wildly different outcomes. In this week's episode of The Brand Marketing Show, I pull the whole thing apart – the five conditions under which a straight discount is fine for a premium brand, why you lose your best customers to confusion not price, and three ways to play Afterpay Day that protect your positioning while still capturing the revenue opportunity. This one's worth a listen before next Wednesday. And if you'd rather just talk it through for your specific brand before Afterpay Day – margins, offer mechanics, positioning – that's what a Growth Strategy Session is for.

Lavish Pentagon purchases—ranging from $6.9 million in lobster tail and $2 million in Alaskan king crab to a $98,329 Steinway grand piano and a $21,750 handmade Japanese flute—have ignited public outrage. These extravagant “use‑it‑or‑lose‑it” end‑of‑year splurges reached a record $93.4 billion in September 2025 alone, underscoring systemic budget‑burning practices. Similar last‑minute spending habits plague other government departments as well, revealing a broader culture of fiscal waste that watchdog groups say urgently needs reform.

What if worship isn't about the songs we sing, but the lives we lay down? In “The Sound of Surrender,” Pastor Oscar takes us back to the very first place the Bible ever mentions worship — not a stage, not a crowd, but an altar. From Abraham's obedience in Genesis 22 to Paul's call in Romans 12:1–2, this message reveals that true worship begins with surrender, is proven in the fire, and costs us something. Through powerful teaching and vivid illustrations — from the story of Jim Elliot to the refining process of a Steinway piano — Pastor Oscar reminds us that real worship isn't measured by how loud we sing, but by how deeply we surrender.

Gavin sits down with Stephen at Vintage Sound Studios to unpack a 30-year journey from four-track dorm recordings to launching a purpose-built facility with tall ceilings, a spacious live room, multiple ISO booths, and dual studios. We get into why “big rooms” still matter in a bedroom-studio world, how thoughtful layout unlocks flexibility (A/B sessions, teaching + mixing simultaneously), and how the studio is serving its North Georgia community through lessons, workshops, and local events. Plus: the booking ramp, genre mix (from country and alt-rock to ambient pop and rap), and a gorgeous solo piano project tracked on their Steinway.Vintage Sound StudiosWebsite: vintagesoundstudios.comInstagram: @vintagesoundstudiosVideo By: More Than Media - https://www.morethan.media/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morethan.media/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morethan.mediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@morethanmedia_The S.O.U.N.D.

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un piano Steinway fue encargado especialmente por el ejército estadounidense para ser enviado a las tropas en el Pacífico. Construido en 1942 con materiales resistentes y sin partes metálicas que pudieran oxidarse, este piano sobrevivió condiciones extremas en zonas de combate. Fue transportado por paracaídas, usado en hospitales de campaña, y se convirtió en símbolo de consuelo en medio de la guerra. Hoy está preservado en el Museo de Steinway & Sons en Nueva York. Este instrumento no tocaba conciertos glamorosos, sino melodías de consuelo entre soldados heridos y médicos agotados. La música no eliminaba el dolor, pero lo abrazaba. El piano sobrevivió, no porque fue protegido, sino porque fue usado. Así también, tu vida tiene un propósito en medio del campo de batalla. Aunque golpeado por circunstancias, Dios puede usarte para traer armonía en medio del caos. Tu fidelidad suena en el cielo, incluso si nadie aplaude aquí. La Biblia dice en 2 Corintios 4:7: “Tenemos este tesoro en vasos de barro, para que la excelencia del poder sea de Dios, y no de nosotros” (RV1960).

Der russische Pianist Alexander Melnikov hat ein Faible für originale Instrumente. Zu seinen durchdachten Interpretationen findet er auch oft durch das passende Instrument. Wie jetzt im Fall von Rachmaninow. Dessen "Variationen über ein Thema von Chopin", Op. 22, sowie ausgewählte Romanzen haben er und die Sopranistin Julia Lezhneva in der Schweizer Villa des Komponisten selbst aufgenommen. An dessen eigenem Flügel - einer Spezialanfertigung von Steinway aus den 1930er Jahren. "Visiting Rachmaninoff" heißt das Album.

Meet the piano piece that's been with me most of my life. In this solo episode, I share the story behind Waking Blue. A song I began composing at age 13, long before I had language for who I was becoming. From Beethoven to Salt Lake City, from Ensign Peak to Southern California, this melody carried me through moves, grief, queerness, and awakening. Waking Blue is a piece about impermanence and memory, about the moment (and years) before we fully wake up. I offer the 2011 studio version here: played on a Steinway, wrapped in decades of life. May it meet you in your own season of becoming.

One afternoon in Oslo changed the course of jazz piano history! In this episode, Adam and Peter dive into Facing You, the hit 1971 ECM release where a 26-year-old Keith Jarrett – torn between Miles Davis' electric band and his own acoustic instincts – walked alone into a studio and recorded eight completely improvised masterpieces. From the gospel-tinged “In Front” to the apex moment in “Lalene,” we explore his remarkable touch, bluesy intuition, and the distinctive distorted Steinway that producer Manfred Eicher perfectly captured. We place this album among solo piano giants (Monk, Tatum, Evans), lovingly examine Jarrett's “fussy” reputation, and show how this afternoon session laid the blueprint for his legendary Köln Concert. Five decades later, we jazz pianists are still chasing the magic Keith created that day.

Today, the Spotlight shines On naturalist and classical pianist Hunter Noack.Redefining what a concert hall can be, Hunter Noack hauls a nine-foot Steinway grand piano to mountaintops, forests, and beaches for his series "In a Landscape: Classical Music in the Wild."Hunter grew up in Central Oregon, where his love for music and nature took root.

It's part performance, part exploration—turning national parks and historic sites into living concert venues.Since founding the series in 2016, Hunter's brought classical music to over 75,000 people across the American West, many experiencing live classical music for the first time. He's performed in sun, snow, and everything in between—all to break down barriers between listener, music, and landscape.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Hunter Noack's album In a Landscape)–Dig DeeperVisit Hunter Noack at hunternoack.com and the In a Landscape project at inalandscape.orgPurchase Hunter Noack's In a Landscape from Qobuz and listen on your streaming platform of choiceFollow Hunter Noack on Facebook and In a Landscape on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTubeBeloved scenic outdoor concert series announces 2025 tour dates for 10th anniversaryDig into this episode's complete show notes at spotlightonpodcast.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

Some of the most famous pianists in the world, including Van Cliburn and Vladimir Horowitz, relied on Franz Mohr, chief concert technician at Steinway & Sons in New York, to ensure that their concert pianos were ready for performances. A master piano tuner, Mohr was sought-after for his intricate knowledge of pianos and great skill developed over decades. Mohr believed his skills were an avenue to serve God, and he regularly shared his faith with pianists and performance staff. When the nation of Israel was preparing to build the tent of meeting and other items necessary for worship (Exodus 31:7–11), they needed individuals with expert skills. God appointed two skilled artisans, Bezalel and Oholiab, to do the work and filled them with the “Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—to make artistic designs” (vv. 3–4). In addition to their specialized skills, God empowered them with His Spirit to guide their work. Their willingness to use their unique talents in service to God allowed the Israelites to appropriately worship Him. Whether or not we consider ourselves artistic, each of us has unique, God-given gifts that we can use to serve others (Romans 12:6). Empowered by the Spirit, we can serve and worship God through our work using the wisdom, understanding, and skills He’s given us.

Alan talks with Roger Rosenblatt about his new book “A Steinway on the beach.” It explores that great mystery of how being wounded—emotionally or physically—is both an inescapable part of life and a chance to illuminate it. It's seeing the wound as the place where the light enters you.
