Exploring Music is an adventure — an expedition through the world of classical music. We pick a theme each week and follow the music wherever it leads us. Over the years we’ve explored Shakespeare and music, have followed the lives of many composers (a sort of five-part mini-series), and visited the music of various locales — Paris, Venice, Spain, Hungary, the Pacific Rim. Each five-episode program is a musical journey that focuses on a particular, genre, music festival, or classical theme. It’s a sort of Outward Bound for music, with Bill McGlaughlin as our guide to make sure we all get home safe and sound.

The episode on CPE Bach was fascinating and inspiring. I had to listen to it again!
Nice! We’re glad that resonated with you.
Late last year I started listening to classical music. I often wished there was an approachable and engaging way to learn more about the music I was listening to. I stumbled across Exploring Music on my way home from work. I enjoy it so much! Thank you very, very much!
