“Focus on Todd Reynolds, Violinist Extraordinaire”
with Christopher Still - Episode #16 - Jan 19, 2021
What can I say about this episode…Todd is the ultimate storyteller, both through his music and his words. While you’re going to get some seriously technical information during this interview, it’s also like, “story time with friends”. And if you’re like me and dislike the term “classical music” Todd is going to explain what HE likes to call, "present music”, and how successful performance is directly related to mindfulness, and even meditation.

Todd and I had a long-overdue, excellent conversation about topics like live streaming, performance anxiety, and imposter syndrome. We discussed the pressures of classical music studies, and some general philosophies about creativity. We cover a lot of ground and Todd's pleasant and warm personality shines through it all.
with Kieran Welch - Episode #5 - Oct 7, 2020
Kieran talks to violinist, composer, educator and technologist Todd Reynolds, and has a big ol' chat about the life of a "classical violinist gone horribly wrong", the early days of Bang On A Can, some tips on combining live performance and electronics, and how to name a chicken Ethel democratically.

"We serve the public by digging down into something that's beyond words."
with Darwin Grosse - Episode #032 - May 25, 2014
I couldn't believe it. I got an email message from Todd Reynolds that he was coming to Denver and wanted to get together. I asked him if he'd be up for a podcast-chat, and he agreed enthusiastically. I met up with him and a friend for breakfast, then we retired to the work space at DU to have a chat. I've been wanting to corner him on some of his processes - as well as his background - and came away having completely enjoyed the morning.

What do we mean when we say “classical music”? Sure, sure: it refers to a period of music, like “Baroque” or “Romantic”. But we largely use the word as a sort of generic brand-name for a specific variety of sound. In this episode of Classical Classroom, genre-ignoring violinist Todd Reynolds attempts to define classical music. Does he succeed? Does he give up and just start talking about Prince instead?
