I actually came across Ronnie Segev by accident through a strange situation. But, yeah, check it out. I actually saw him perform at Studio 54 not too long ago....it is really rad to see an influx of classical into the mainstream of NY. http://www.ronensegev.com/
I think what Ronnie Segev and the Ten O'Clock Classics is great. Not only are they talented musicians, but they're also sharing their love of music with the community and making music accessible to inner city kids in New York. They talk about their work in this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=z0UVXAH8kYU
I must say I was suspicious at first, but "Getting Opera" really has changed my entire view of opera. It's a whole different universe out there. Check it out (warning: you might get hooked on opera):
I'm also a fan of Ronnie Segev's and I think it's great that he is giving to the community. Take a look at this site about the Directions Program developed by Ronnie Segev and the Ten O'Clock Classics to give underprivileged kids in New York access to music education. http://directionsmusic.org/
Hi! I love this piece of music that is used on this website. Can anyone tell me what it is?? I can't tell how to create a link here, so if you want to give it a shot, you may have to copy it into your browser. Thanks!!

I am directing a production of Romeo and Juliet at present for an 'in the parks' season here in Adelaide Australia.
I am setting the production in 1947 Italy: Piazzas, lots of coffee, wine, pasta etc. I am mostly using traditional Italian folk music. I am however looking for a piece to underscore the visuals of the wedding and want to go quite classical; very moody, gentle and something that symbolizes my feeling for the play which is that it is a celebration of youth and the new world and very much Juliet's "sonnet'.
I thought i would put it out there and see if the aficionados have any suggestions beyond my novice knowledge of music.
