What year were you born?

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

I always found it rather interesting that the majority of classical music sites I have visited are populated by many more people who are under 40 (and most of those seem to be 20-something) than the grey haird folks people seem to associate with classical music. I wonder if it's the same here.

Instead of posting your age (it changes every year!), post what year you were born, or even just your full birthday if you like.

I was born on the 1st of July 1997.

I only became aware of Boulez when he began guest conducting the Cleveland Orchestra (1965).

You're a lot younger than my classical music hero (90!!!) when that's put into perspective.

Yes, relative to the music heroes I grew up with, I'm a spring chicken.

Speaking of Boulez, I think I'll listen to one of his compositions.

That was back when you had to spin your record player by a crank, eh Sarge?  By '51, all that had been solved.  0:)

So far people here are older than I imagined!

Mostly don't seem it from being open-minded still.  It is only people who are 'written in stone' who seem their age.

But we are all young at heart.
