Welcome to Intermezzo from Interlochen Public Radio, where we take a few minutes to bounce some ideas around about classical music.
Saturday is Valentine's Day, and while that day normally celebrates romantic love, it brings to mind how much there is to love about life.
Host Christy L'Esperance heard from many of you about what you love! On today's episode of Intermezzo, we're celebrating a beloved element of our lives: music.
Has music ever grabbed your emotions by the hand and walked so perfectly in step with the moment that it felt like the music not just understood you, but made the moment bigger somehow? More adventurous, more beautiful or more energetic?
Sometimes, music is just the patient friend we need, sitting by our side, not rushing us. We can feel the companionship of music just by listening — or by dancing to it.
