Classical Dark Arts is a show about classical music. Episodes are short, punchy, and low-brow. You'll hear choice classical music, movie & pro wrestling clips, and the occasional prank call. Classical Dark Arts is hosted by Will Roseliep, the author of the monthly CDA mailer, as well as 'The Libertine's Guide to the Classical Music Revolution.' Will is a cellist and a founding member of the Cambridge Philharmonic.
