But now, Allen has turned his attention to a new format: the almanac. His book <em>Tom Allen&#8217;s Classical Musick Almynack<\/em> takes a look at classical music over the course of a calendar year, including key dates, facts and stories for each month, along with recipes, quizzes and musical activities. Allen sits down with Tom Power to tell us why he wanted to embrace this old calendar form, and why he\u2019s so keen to spread the word when it comes to classical music.<\/p>\n<div><em><strong>LISTEN | Tom Allen&#8217;s full interview with Tom Power:<\/strong><\/em><span><span class=\"mediaEmbed\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"player-placeholder-ui-container  \" data-cy=\"player-placeholder-ui-container\">\n<div class=\"player-placeholder-audio-ui \" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Tom Allen\u2019s new book is an almanac for classical music lovers\">\n<div class=\"player-placeholder-ui\">\n<p><span class=\"media-showName\"\/><span class=\"media-duration\">19:01<\/span><span class=\"media-title\">Tom Allen\u2019s new book is an almanac for classical music lovers<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><em><strong>The full interview with Tom Allen is available on <\/strong><\/em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/link.mgln.ai\/nMAgku\" target=\"_blank\"><u><em><strong>our podcast, Q with Tom Power<\/strong><\/em><\/u><\/a><em><strong>.
