REVIEWS
* “It’s easy to perceive classical music as inaccessible, snobby and something that may be hard to ‘get,’ but [Javor] made me realize it is not such.”
* “Wonderful intimate setting. Open and unpatronising explanation and discussion. A valuable and interesting experience.”
* “[Javor] effortlessly conveys his passion for both the emotion and intellect of music. In the process, he reveals, to the non-musician, an entirely new way of listening to and enjoying music.”
