Hello and welcome to a very special update of the Relaxing Piano Playlist, with your host, James Quinn.
In this brief episode, I’m going to quickly go over some quick details which I’ll explain in just a second.
So first and foremost, I can now confirm to you that Episode 1 of Series 4 of the Relaxing Piano Playlist will be released on Friday the 5th of May. As before there will be the same tradition of a number of short pieces from a whole variety of composers, covering all the different musical periods from the Baroque to the Classical, the Romantic and the 20th Century periods and even to the present day.
In this Series, there will also be a special episode where you will get to hear some of my own original compositions. On top of this, I would like to make a “call to composers”, to invite any of you who may be pianists yourselves to share some of your own music, which fits in the theme of relaxing piano music. You may like to either send in a recording to me or a score should you wish for me to perform and record this for you, to share it with our world-wide audience.
If you would like to compose something exclusively for this podcast, then by all means do, as I would love to try and break ground with contemporary music in this series. In order to get in touch with me about this, just head on over to my website at www.jamesquinnpiano.com and use the Contact page to do just that. Just as I did in Series 3, you can also expect to hear some more slow movements from piano concertos, and you hear the first of these in Episode 2.
Very soon, I will be releasing my podcast as a Video Series format on my YouTube channel, and the date of this will soon be announced mid-series.
Just before I leave you, I like to very quickly give you some very exciting news. As of this moment, we’re very close to reaching 60,000 downloads of this podcast. There’s no need for me to get all flowery here, but I am incredibly grateful for everything that each and every one of you who supports my podcast, as it really gives me the motivation to keep going. Without all of you listening to my podcast, I don’t think I would ever get this far without having such lovely and an appreciative audience of friends I could ever ask for.
On that note, I hope you all had a very relaxing and enjoyable Spring break over the last couple of weeks, and I look forward very much to welcoming you all back to the first episode of Series 4 which will be released on Friday the 5th of May. Until then, take very good care of yourselves and each other, and stay safe. This has been the Relaxing Piano Playlist with James Quinn, so until then all the very best and farewell for now. Thank you.
