  • enjoyed an especially meaningful encounter with classical music?
  • wanted to discuss what studying or enjoying classical music means to you personally?

If so, we want to hear from you. Please Email us your submission in less than 1200 words, with your name, where you are from, and any pictures you take.

Be sure to follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to read our coverage of the classical music world.
