Classical Classroom, Episode 189: Once More with Healing feat. Brooklyn Rider

String quartet Brooklyn Rider has a new project called Healing Modes which they're currently touring. While they were in Seattle, we coaxed them into the KING FM studio with the promise of snacks. Just kidding! They came in willingly like most of our guests. In this episode, they talk about Beethoven's Opus 132, the piece at the center of this project, and about the 5 new pieces they commissioned to play alongside it. They also talk about why music is healing, and why we need it to do its magic now. Music in this episode:    Special thanks to Todd Reynolds for his music, Taskforce: Farmlab from Outerbourough.
