In this pretentious and overly verbose classical music show, your host will meander, adagio style, upon a diverse variety (dead white men) of the infamous classical canon. I will linger (fermata style) on the facts and figures that will either send you into an instrumentally-induced sleep or fire up the musicologist buried within you, tingling your prefrontal cortex with scrupulous harmonic, structural and contextual analysis. In this highly sophisticated show, my knowledge and insight as an undergrad music student will be put to the test, as will my ability to engage listeners who are more atuned to the likes of Radiohead and Paramore with the likes of Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev. Can I bring you rondo to your senses?
