A Message from Dr. Woodruff

Picture
Classical music is for everyone. As far as I am concerned, this is an irrefutable fact. There are certain things in life that everyone should know about, and classical music is one of those things. To be forthright, I must say that my mission in life is to promote classical music to everyone I meet, whether he or she is interested or not. I want to create in people an irresistible urge to buy classical recordings, purchase tickets to concerts, and support the Arts in every way possible. I suppose I could be considered a classical music fanatic, but let's face it -- a good dose of culture has never killed anyone.
