#composers — Public Fediverse posts

Here are two very different subreddits that I created and administrate.

This is a subreddit for those who love, or are even curious about, opera and its singers from the 1950's and earlier. Feel free to ask questions, share reviews and links, and discuss this wonderful genre of music and the singers and composers who brought it to life. Everyone, from beginners to experts, is welcome.

https://www.reddit.com/r/OldOpera/

If you want to join apositive subreddit for the blind, try r/BlindandFine. The subject matter is far less strict than at r/blind, since not everything needs to be related to blindness. This is more of a place where we can get to know each other and have fun. We allow sighted people to join as well, and we welcome questions about blindness if they are genuine, requests for feedback on surveys or technology about/for the blind, etc. However, I do ask that you join only if you are eighteen or older. Please also note that this is not a therapy/support group. If you need that, then r/blind is for you. I am not an administrator there, only of Blind and Fine.

Deadline: 2 March 2026 12:00
Chamber Choir Ireland and the Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland are now seeking applications for Choral Sketches with composer mentor Rhona Clarke.

"When the 1936 #Polish #Yiddish feature #AlKhet (I Have Sinned) screened at the #NewYork #Jewish #FilmFestival last month after a decades-long restoration process, seeing the #film was cause for celebration.

Hearing the soundtrack was my greatest joy. It was scored by one of my favorite Yiddish #composers, #HenokhKon, who created the #music for the 1937 film classic #TheDybbuk. In his heyday between the world wars, #Kon was already renowned as a prolific creator of catchy #songs and sophisticated multi-genre instrumental repertoire, even years before his first film commissions.

My ears perk up for Kon’s distinctive, eclectic sound textures (as well as ingenious folk-stylized #song repertoire) — from the iconic #dance sequences of The #Dybbuk, to angst-driven passages in the #Bundist quasi-#documentary #MirKumenOn (called Children Must Laugh in English), to darkly ironic background cues for the low-budget #FreylekheKabtsonim (Jolly Paupers).

Was yesterday lousy, creative?

Did you fail to meet your goals, or produce garbage, or not make anything at all?

It’s okay.

No shame clings to you because today is NEW.
