CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME AN A?: A Richmond Symphonicast
Season Finale: Can Someone Give Me A STREETCAST!?!
Show Notes

To celebrate the end of our first season, we are featuring our best guest yet…YOU!!! That's right, prepare yourself for the STREETCAST!

With nothing more than a 1/64-size violin, a whiteboard, and a few microphones, we set up shop in Carytown hoping to chat with passers-by about the wild  world of symphonic music. And we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! We ended up chatting with six wonderful guests, who shared everything from their experience with classical music to their hot takes on Star Wars movies. And we are honored to report, all of them could name at least three composers! (win)

Highlights include: 

  • The debut of official "Can Someone Give Me An  A?" hilarious hype-man:  Monty Thomas (who is potentially Zoe's cousin)
  • First-time reactions to Gustav Holst's "The Planets"
  • The revelation of Matt's super secret favorite song (hint: it involves a 1997 box office hit...shhhhhhhhh!)

Thanks for hanging with us this season. We couldn't have done it without you :) Can't wait to talk your ears off again!
