Music Commentary: The Place Between “Classical” and “Jazz” Becomes a Destination

2022 was a year in which hybrid musical forms reached more Boston audiences than ever before. 2023 promises to open even more doors. The Place Between is no longer dangerous territory, a detour, or a side road. It has become a destination in itself.

Classical Album Review: Daniel Barenboim conducts Schumann
