Physicists Prove Classical Music Inhabits Separate Realm, Inaccessible To Humans
GENEVA—Physicists affiliated with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) released a report Wednesday revealing that classical music exists in a field of reality entirely removed from the four-dimensional spacetime inhabited by human beings.
Scientists were performing a routine search for fifth-dimensional activity using the Large Hadron Collider, the immense particle accelerator famous for proving the existence of the Higgs Boson, when they came across the entire corpus of Western classical music from 9th-century plainchant to Nico Muhly.
According to the report, the innumerable works making up this body of repertoire exist in a continuum that resides just beyond the limits of human perception. Via Submediant

In The Digital Age, Young Kids Need Classical Music More Than Ever
There’s a sticker on the plastic-wrapped CD I’m holding that reads, “Produced by Phil Ramone.” The late, great producer, who died in 2013, has a name brand that few other music producers can rival: He worked with Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Madonna and Sinéad O’Connor. This album, though, is a little different. It’s classical music, curated for children.
“He actually started as a child prodigy violinist,” said Marc Neikrug, a renowned classical composer who collaborated with Ramone on the album, “Sunken Cathedrals,” after being introduced by Dr. Rock Positano, a podiatrist with a special interest in music’s value to medicine. “The three of us were all very, very interested in promoting classical music to children, for many reasons.” Via Huffington Post
Are you convinced now? Even if not for yourself, add classical music to your favorites and watch as you and your loved ones fall in love with it and reap the benefits therein. This is one decision you won’t regret!

Classical Music Can Unite and Console In Troubling, Angry Times
You want anger?
Go to the opera. Go to the symphony.
Classical music has, of course, a hard-won reputation for civility. Concert decorum typically involves a certain courteousness. Being a member of a symphony orchestra requires a remarkable cooperation. We turn to age-old classical scores to console us and to bring us together in times of tragedy and to odes of joy when triumphant.
Musicians playing together offer a symbol of solidarity. The day after the Brexit referendum passed last month, young musicians from Europe spontaneously gathered in Trafalgar Square to play the “Ode to Joy” from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, reminding Londoners of the importance of foreign musicians, who may not be allowed to remain, to the city’s cultural riches.

Can Classical Music Be Cool?
ANNA GOLDSWORTHY, an Australian pianist and festival director, wrote recently about her fears for her art-form as she played Chopin’s funeral-march in B-flat minor. Though we are all headed towards our own funerals, “it is difficult to escape the fact that my audience is several decades further down the road than I am. And I am less and less confident that a new audience will come marching in to replace them.”
Her fears are not outlandish: a 2010 study by the Australian Bureau of Statistics found the largest proportion of classical concert-goers are aged between 65 and 74, and the same problem is bemoaned far beyond Australia. So promoters and classical-music venues are keen to do anything that will lure in youngsters. There is some evidence that their initiatives are bearing fruit: in 2015, more than 37,500 people bought their first tickets for the BBC Proms, a concert series held in London’s Victoria & Albert Hall every summer since 1895.
