Morning Edition on NPR today, you probably heard this story about
Tasmin Little and
The Naked Violin. It was a wonderful piece of positive news about someone who's trying to make the world a better place using her own unique talents.
Morning Edition, February 26, 2008 - Britain's top concert violinist released her latest album, The Naked Violin, free on the Internet in an effort to draw more people to classical music, she says. Tasmin Little will begin a national concert tour later this year — and the venues will be factories, airports and shopping malls. It's all part of her effort to try to get Bach and Mozart out of the cultural ghetto.

Listen to my spoken introduction and download my CD; Take some time to listen and get to know these pieces.
