Keep Classical Weird: Recent Episodes
Casey
In the Keep Classical Weird podcast, host Casey Bozell explores all manner of kooky, mysterious and outlandish oddities associated with the wide world of classical music - all from her homebase in Portland, Oregon, a city celebrated for its culture and its eccentricity. Join Casey and some entertaining friends each week for a light-hearted and joyful look at why weirdness in classical music is part of what makes this art form so special.
The ever delightful Indiana Jones of early music (it’s true, someone said that on the internet) joins Casey for a chat about the upcoming Portland Baroque Orchestra season. Ever wonder “why Baroque?” Not to fret - Julian Perkins answers that too!
