Hello and I'm a conductor and I'm the

artistic director of the Lozan Chamber Orchestra in Lozan Switzerland. This

podcast is for anyone who loves classical music, works in the field, or is just

getting ready to dive in to this amazing world of incredible music.

So amazingly, today marks the 100th episode of sticky notes. As I often have said when I started the show, I thought, you know, maybe I'd make a few episodes and get a few hundred downloads, but now, almost two years later, the show has been downloaded more than 350,000 times.

We've covered 38 individual pieces, discussed dozens of different topics relating to classical

music, and I've talked with some of the leading lights of the Classical Music

world.

It's been such a wonderful surprise also to see that Classical Music has a reach that is truly

worldwide.

As of today, the show has been downloaded in 141 countries from the US and Canada to

countries like Cuba Nigeria and more just to name a few. So thank you again for all of

your support and I wanted to add that one of my favorite things about doing this show has been reading your emails,

suggesting topics to cover, pieces to explore, artists to interview,

or just hearing your feelings about classical music in general.
