Description

In the Keep Classical Weird podcast, host Casey Bozell explores all manner of kooky, mysterious and outlandish oddities associated with the wide world of classical music - all from her homebase in Portland, Oregon, a city celebrated for its culture and its eccentricity. Join Casey and some entertaining friends each week for a light-hearted and joyful look at why weirdness in classical music is part of what makes this art form so special.

Episode 72: The Longest Piece Ever
2026/04/13
I’ve heard it before and I’ll hear it again: classical music concerts are REALLY LONG. You’re not wrong… but really, everything is about perspective, ain’t it? We explore several pieces that are just really long pieces of music. Enormous pieces that take up actual literal fractions of your life. One is designed to outlast us by several centuries. * *I was a philosophy minor in college and the amount of strength and willpower it’s taking me to not launch into the artistic temerity of humanity at this moment in time should be given some sort of award.
