Bach's cello suites are some of the most recorded, most studied music ever written, which raises a risky question: can you add anything to them without breaking what makes them timeless? We explore that question with Brick House Duo, cellist Jennifer Kloetzel and violinist Peter Wilson, as they share the story and craft behind their album The Bach Wilson Project and the life partnership that powers it. Peter's path is anything but standard: he spent 30 years as a Marine violinist with “The President's Own” United States Marine Band, serving as senior enlisted music advisor and performing for five U.S. presidents. That world demands range, speed, and a willingness to jump styles, from chamber music to pop to specialty ensembles built for White House needs. When the pandemic shuts everything down and distance separates him from Jennifer, a spark from the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria idea turns into a full-scale composition project: six original violin descants written over each of Bach's cello suite preludes, creating a true violin and cello duet without altering Bach's original notes. Jennifer tells us what it's like to play Bach's preludes with a second voice in the air: less autopilot, a tighter agreement on tempo and phrasing, and a surprising side effect where the new violin line can linger in her imagination even when she returns to solo Bach. We also get into the trickiest writing decisions, including how to handle the fifth suite fugue without “tampering,” plus how they round out the album with smart transcriptions and crossover choices, from Bach's keyboard duets to the Bach-Brahms Presto and Beatles-inspired tracks like Penny Lane and Here Comes The Sun. If you love Bach, chamber music, arranging, and the behind-the-scenes reality of building a meaningful classical project, hit play now, then subscribe, share with a musician friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.For more information on Jennifer and Peter and to purchase their album: https://peterwilsonmusician.com/the-brickhouse-duo/You can also find Jennifer on Facebook and Instagram: @jkcellodivaAnd Peter Wilson: @peterwilsonmusicianIf you are looking for in person/virtual cello lessons, or orchestral repertoire audition coachings, check out www.theCelloSherpa.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, Threads & YouTube: @theCelloSherpaFor more information on our sponsor: www.CLEAResources.com

Northeast Ohio workers aim to improve labor strength American's approval of labor unions has greatly increased in the last 20 years, according to a recent poll from Gallup. 47% of those who were surveyed said they want unions to have more influence. That sits alongside a rate of 26% saying they want unions to have the same amount of influence. Efforts to unionize or improve worker conditions are increasing in a variety of sectors across Northeast Ohio, from the musicians of the Cleveland Orchestra potentially going on strike, to nurses, baristas and librarians seeking a place at the table when it comes to collective bargaining. Labor Day was celebrated this Monday, so the "Sound of Ideas,” hosted by Stephanie Haney, decided to take a snapshot of the local labor landscape on Thursday's show with workers here in Northeast Ohio. Guests: - Rhonda Hillman, Employee, SEIU Local 1 & Union Steward - Michael Wood, Lead Administrative Organizer, SEIU 1199 - Patricia Kane, Staff Nurse, Metro Behavioral Health Hospital; Ohio Nurses Association Local President - Caleb Reese, Former Rising Star Employee - Elayna Duitman, Violinist, The Cleveland Orchestra; Chair, Musicians Negotiating Committee "Shuffle” Then, we bring you another episode of our music podcast "Shuffle." This week, we hear from Lakewood artist Tracy Marie, who has built a career in music while navigating the challenges of a rare disability. Now, she's turning those experiences into advocacy for greater accessibility. Guests: - Amanda Rabinowitz, Host and Producer, “Shuffle” and “All Things Considered” - Tracy Marie, Musician

No guest this week, just a life update that goes about ten different directions and lands in a good place.   The bride-to-be (!!!) gives the full wedding update: dress shopping day with a party bus and a lunch spot, why she handed the girls a link and let them pick their own dresses (fabric picked, everything else up to them), the violinist she hired (for the Bridgerton vibes), and a groom who gets zero say except maybe the shoes.   Add a real conversation about being hard on yourself, giving yourself some grace, and the soft girl era in progress.   Then it's about the kids: a driver's permit that almost got derailed by a lost contact at the DMV, a comp cheer season that ended in relief, and colored pencils that apparently cost $31 now. Buckle up.   Chapters: 00:00 Here's the Link, Y'all Pick a Dress 00:50 The Skinny Macchiato and a Red Bull Problem 02:15 What Kind of Bride Are You? 03:30 Why She's Skipping the First Look 04:00 Group Chat, Party Bus, Dress Shopping Day 05:00 Letting the Girls Choose Their Own Dress 06:00 Crying in the Dressing Room at Summer's Wedding 07:15 Soft Girl Era, Sleeves, and Giving Yourself Grace 09:30 Tennis Lessons and the $1,000 Ball Machine 11:30 The Violinist, the DJ, and Bridgerton Vibes 13:00 Photographer Hunt, Guest List Creep, and Valet 14:30 No Bachelorette, a Secret Song, and a Five Tier Cake 16:00 Black Suit, Big Hair, Two Drink Tickets 18:00 The Teacher Who Yells and $31 Colored Pencils 20:00 The DMV Eye Test Disaster 22:30 Comp Cheer Quits, Basketball Makes the Cut 25:00 That's the Life Update  

In this classic episode from Season 3, Aaron joins the elementary school orchestra and discovers the thrill of making music. Then the sheet music gets harder, the other violinists race ahead, and he falls back on the one musical skill he can trust: his memory. Before long, he isn't reading the notes at all. He's performing something else entirely. A funny, painfully honest story about getting caught, repeating old patterns, and finally discovering the instrument he was meant to play.

Violinist and composer Curtis Stewart recently released a two-CD recording featuring ‘24 American Caprices' composed in the styles of the many genres he grew up listening to on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Listen now with host Julie Amacher.

Watch This Episode On YouTubeIf you are staying up till 1030 pm to talk with me from Milan, Italy, well, I'm going to be grateful no matter what.But even better if your film is truly exceptional. My guest, Ang Geck Geck Priscilla, director of AH GIRL (2026), which premiered at Rotterdam and now screens at the Toronto International Film Festival next month, made a fantastic coming of age story from a child's perspective, cinematically. She wrote a semi-autobiographical story -- 70-80% true -- that her parents haven't even seen. And she's a Singaporean filmmaker making waves at huge festivals in ways that, if we're being blunt, we don't usually see.But she didn't want to play the comparison game; she doesn't care about all that. She wants to tell her own story. I'm absolutely here for it, and if you're at TIFF, you should be there, too. What a great talent in director Ang Geck Geck Priscilla.Ang and I talk about:how she describes the film and how much is true to life (70-80%);a coming of age story that she hasn't even shown her parents!;why she cast good looking people as her parents;shooting the film from a child's perspective;how she knew she'd become a filmmaker;why she cut the film to 99 minutes, including a wedding scene that I really want to see!;the genre of films that are tackling this coming of age, especially from an Asian perspective (e.g. LEFT-HANDED GIRL; A GIRL UNKNOWN);her thoughts on distribution;filmmaking in Singapore and the lack of theatrical opportunities;expectations coming out of screening at TIFF;what's next for her.Ang's Indie Film Highlights: WE ARE ALL STRANGERS (2026) dir. by Anthony Chen (a fellow Singaporean and also playing at TIFF); THE VIOLINIST (2026) dir. by Ervin Han & Raul GarciaMemorable Quotes:" The small part that is not real is actually the message that I want to tell my parents."" My producer would tell me about this film, and then they will start comparing. I honestly, I don't really care."" I'm really happy to be able to tell a Singapore story because I think as Singaporean, a lot of people always say we don't have our own identity."" I'm writing a psychological horror film next. I love horror."Links:Follow Ang Geck Geck Priscilla On InstagramFollow AH GIRL On Instagram

I have been so inspired to discover the brilliant British-American violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen's wonderful discography and I so enjoyed this opportunity to talk to her about her creative life. She spoke to me about the debut of her sister's violin concerto and you'll hear about Freya Waley-Cohen's earlier work Permutations. Tamsin has performed and recorded extensively with the great pianist and composer Huw Watkins and you'll also be hearing short excerpts from their album “Reflection” including two works written for Tamsin: Huw's Violin Sonata and the late Oliver Knussen's Reflection. She opened up about postpartum anxiety, depression,and also the creativity parenting requires, and connected to that, her upcoming album with Cordelia Williams “Dreamscapes and Lullabies”. Tamsin is Artistic Director of the Two Moors Festival in the U.K. and she shared her thoughtful curation of their upcoming October programming. We also talked about the satisfaction and intensity of touring and her wholistic approach to playing the violin. Finally, Tamsin shared some powerful musical memories with some of her great mentors.

SynopsisToday we note the birthday of a remarkable composer, conductor and virtuoso violinist: Eugéne Ysaÿe, who was born in Liége, Belgium, on today's date in 1858. After studies with two of the most famous violin composers of his day, Henyrk Wieniawski of Poland and his Belgian compatriot, Henri Vieuxtemps, he soon was touring Europe and Russia as a star performer himself.In 1886, when 28-year old Ysaÿe married, great Belgian composer Cesar Franck presented the young couple with his Violin Sonata as a wedding present. That same year, Ysaÿe founded a famous string quartet, and in 1893 it was the Ysaÿe Quartet that gave the premiere performance of Claude Debussy's String Quartet, a work its composer dedicated to the ensemble in admiration.In 1918, he made his American debut as a conductor with the Cincinnati Symphony, and made such a great impression there that he remained as music director of the Cincinnati Symphony from 1918 to 1922.As a composer, he wrote eight concertos and a set of six solo sonatas for the violin. In 1928, at 70, the patriotic Belgian began work on an opera, Peter the Miner to a libretto in his native Walloon language, and was at work on a second opera when he died at 72, in 1931. In 1937, Queen Elizabeth of Belgium inaugurated the annual Eugene Ysaÿe International Prize for promising young violinists.Music Played in Today's ProgramCesar Franck (1822-1890): Violin Sonata; Itzhak Perlman, violin; Martha Argerich, piano; EMI 56815Eugène Ysaÿe (1858-1931): Chant d'hiver; Aaron Rosand, violin; Radio Luxembourg Orchestra; Louis de Froment, conductor; Vox Box 5102

“Losing My Religion” has one of the most recognizable feels in modern rock, and a big part of that atmosphere lives in the strings. We're joined by former Atlanta Symphony Orchestra violinist David Arenz, who played on R.E.M.'s Out of Time, to unpack what it's like to walk into a studio, open the sheet music, listen to the track, and deliver takes that end up etched into music history.We get practical about the process: how pop string sections are recorded, why overdubbing matters, how a small group can sound massive, and what pros rely on when the clock is running. David also takes us through the real career path behind orchestral playing, from early training and relentless practice to high-pressure auditions, probation, and decades of rehearsals, concerts, and touring as a working musician.Then the stories open up. We talk Atlanta studios, TV theme work, and the strange truth that you often don't know where your music will land until you hear it out in the world. And yes, David even ends up singing “My Girl” with The Temptations at Chastain Park in Atlanta, GA.If you love R.E.M., the Out of Time album, music production, or the orchestra, this one is for you. Subscribe, share the show with a music-obsessed friend, and leave us a review. What song do you hear differently once you know how it was made?Send us a one-way message. We can't answer you back directly, but it could be part of a future Music In My Shoes Mailbag!!!
