On the 7th of May, 1840, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born. The composer of music worth celebrating. Музыка вечная! #ClassicalMusic #Tchaikovsky

Johannes Brahms, born this day, the 7th of May, 1833. Göttliche klänge, echo an die engel!

Amazing that two giants of classical music were born on the same day (but not year). #composers #birthdays

In all classical and fine arts, the first teacher is the most important, and should not be forgotten. #TeacherAppreciationDay

On this day: Remembering Fred Astaire, one of a kind, great of the greats: #FredAstaire
