The Horn player who could play Mozart from memory whilst having a copy of Autocar magazine on his music stand. The guy who pioneered music for the masses. A woman who orchestrated a hugely important arts collective in Boston, Massachusetts. The author whose sci-fi novel is referenced in the Big Bang Theory.
