The beautiful, melodic stuff you hear on the radio, at the ballet or concert hall or, often, on commercials.
Classical music is great for instantly sparking emotion and passion in the listener.
These strong feelings spill over into the categorizing of Classical music. Yes, well, the members of the ARC Ensemble, who I sat down with recently, don't quite see it that way. Emily Eagen, a singer with a mezzo-soprano voice, and Nancy Cahall, French horn. Fuller, Eagen and Cahall tell me that contemporary music and the Cincinnati public need a little help. There are two problems, you see.
