Classical Music and Video Game Music
My first love has always been classical music. Maybe cats. But probably classical music. A runner-up would be video games. I feel like I got pretty lucky once games started recording orchestral soundtracks. I remember the first time I heard...

Metropolitan Symphony celebrates Brubeck's 90th
by Steve Staruch, Minnesota Public Radio
November 17, 2010
St. Paul, Minn. — Bill Schrickel is the Music Director of the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra - hailed as "the very model of a major symphony orchestra, community style."
The MSO will perform an all jazz concert - heavy on Dave Brubeck - this Sunday at Central Lutheran Church in Minneapolis.
It's "heavy on Brubeck" as this year is Brubeck's 90th.
For the orchestra - and especially for Schrickel - this performance is a labor of love.
Schrickel's love for Brubeck's music and his admiration for Brubeck's strong sense of justice and humanity is palpable.
