Episode description

Classical music could use a little disruption. For Anastasia Kobekina, that means playing outside of its rigid forms.

An accomplished soloist, Anastasia has played with prestigious orchestras all over the world. She also bangs on her cello, improvises with Vivaldi, and sings.

I was thrilled to sit down with Anastasia to discuss her musical experimentations and to hear her play some pieces from her remarkable new album Venice.

This...is A Bit of Optimism.
