I'm happy to be here with you. I've been bewitched and thrilled by classical music (and very soon opera) since 9th grade which was many, many decades ago. You see, I learned to play the clarinet between 8th and 9th grades taking summertime lessons in the public school system where I lived. Once marching band was over (due to the end of football season), we had indoors concert band. We played all sorts of music but I was instantly smitten by the lighter and heavier classical music we played. My parents, who weren't much educated, never listened to classical music so I have to say that maybe the best thing that happened to me in life was the immediate love for classical music. I just can't live without it and I tell people I only live for my music. [I mainly listen to the Romantic period composers but also to various 20th century composers. And I like the music of Philip Glass too.]
Hello, Tantris, and welcome to GMG. Lots of Tchaikovsky fans here (including me), and you'll also find some more clarinetists, too. And your story about discovering classical music in high school will likely resonate with many.

Hello and Welcome! :)
Welcome to the forum Tantris. :)
Welcome! I recently listened to Tchaikovsky's string serenade and his string quartets. In the past several months he has been in frequent rotation for me.
Welcome!

Most excellent, Karl. I also listened to a symphony, the G minor.
Welcome! :)
I can relate to your non-Classical family backround: my parents had no interest in Classical Music whatsoever.
And socially Classical Music is a very hard sell: even trying it seems too intimidating for many...
Anyway, here you are amongst like minded - enjoy! :)
Hey there. I actually come from a family with music background but I was the only one who really cared about classical music. Since my parents mainly listened to mainstream rock music, I am German and I grew up playing piano which gave me the interest for classical and eventually classical-based rock and metal.
Welcome to GMG!
Welcome from me too. I hope that you enjoy your time here.

He's made two posts since joining last year. I think it's safe to assume that he won't be back. ;)

Since KD who bumped the post is located on Uranus, it probably took about a year for it to reach him. :)
