FAZER’S URBAN TAKEOVER, BBC3

“Classical music, for want of a better phrase, is the most endlessly rewarding and exhilarating phenomenon in the whole of human intellectual endeavour. And it was surprisingly moving to see these seven enthusiastic and articulate young Samurai grasping that it is not just for ‘posh people, rich people, old people’.”
Mark Monahan, The Telegraph

Many thanks indeed to all who replied. It came as somethig of a surprise that such a well-crafted paragraph should have been written so recently. All credit to Mark Monahan - I shall ciculate his article as much as I can!
