Inside the Music
Inside the Music is a term used by many musicians, orchestras, and radio programs. The first musician to put this term into practice is an unknown pianist, called Ann Cummings. Her multi-media concerts with this title began in 1992 with live concerts and recorded CD. Many other organizations have since taken on this title such as the LA philharmonic for their pre-concert lectures, the Florida Space Coast symphony for their pre-concert lectures. Public radio has adopted this title as well, most notablyCanadian radio program, which began airing on CBC Radio One and CBC Radio 2 in 2007. Hosted by Patti Schmidt, the program airs documentaries, often about Canadian musicians.
It covers the inspiration for music, the motivations of performers, and outside events that influence a composer's work.[1]
It sometimes covers subject matter from beyond Canada's borders. For example in the fall of 2010 it presented a two-part documentary about The Byrds.
Musicians profiled on the series have included Joni Mitchell, Oscar Peterson, Lenny Breau, Emanuel Ax, Pinchas Zukerman, Ian Tyson, Jackie Shane and Jim Cuddy.
