Goal.Everyone loves classical music, some just don’t know that yet. It is my goal to make as many pepole as possible know and love classical music. I believe that the current situation and downfall of classical music can be recovered from, not by modernizing it, but by returning to the roots of where classical music began. Music should not be theatrics of following a rule book of rigidity, but rather a free expression of life. Over the past 70 years classical music has experienced its downfall, because it has departed from its roots, classical music has become more of a museum piece, showing one piece of after the other, not pausing to show a moment of admiration towards the works of the great masters such as Bach or Mozart. As an example, in Mozart's day, one would improvise and clap between pieces and movements, but within the past 70 years it has been taboo to improvise or clap in a classical concert. The only way we will recover from this present downfall is by returning to the roots, this I have tired to do by playing beautiful music in beautiful places as Bach or Mozart themselves have done, and by scrapping the long list of redundant rules that make classical concerts intimidating.
