LAST. BA, one doesn't just "suddenly learn to like" classical music. It's a long process, which might have started with a parent playing you Peter and the Wolf as a child. Some classical music is intensely emotional, some of it is mathematically clever, some of it is very soothing. If you're at all interested in it as a genre, I'd recommend listening to Tom Allen's "Shift" on CBC Radio 2 from 1-3:30. (Or Tempo from 9-1, but Julie doesn't explain the background, or the mechanics, of the music in the way Tom does.)

Probably not. I suspect it's quite difficult, and would require intent, to like classical music if you haven't grown up with it. It's ALL that was on when I was growing up.

Surpisingly, Moncton has fairly regular symphonic concerts,ballet...
It's not Montreal. But it's impressive for such a small city.
But, oh, would I love again to see the Bolshoi, and Galena Ulanev as the dying swan. ( She must be at least 90 now.) Recently, here in in town, we had the Nutcracker (which I am not fond of but, what the hell, it's tradition at Christmas.)

Oh, but she dies beautifully. It's not possible; but I could have sworn I saw her feathers rising and falling as she lay dying.
Then then there's the Russian dancer who defected to the U.S., made a wonderful movie
with Gregory Hines - can't remember his name though he's quite famous, He's on youtube as Frank Sinatra dancing with a woman.
For several years, I played piano for ballet classes. But I haven't done a grand jete for years.

Then there are those that believe not in the Black Swan Theory ... something they can't envision? Stuff now on the other side of the veil ...
