TERRANCE MCKNIGHT: CONCERT BLACK

Mozart, Haydn and Rachmaninoff - not you jam? Well they will be after you check out our guest, WQXR radio host Terrance McKnight. Terrance drops some knowledge on us about how the Moors in 16th century Spain were the original hit makers of what we now call classical music. We also learn of Joseph Bologne, the Chevalier de Saint Georges: a mulatto, Marie Antoinette's best boo, the rock star of his day in 18th century France and Mozart's idol - he was crazy jealous of the brother! So boogie on down to Baroque town and pizzicato your way to the surprisingly colorful origins in classical music.  To get 10% off your first month at Better Help, ➡️ www.betterhelp.com/gilesfiles Or use discount code, "GILESFILES" at checkout.
