The Omniscient Mussel

About

Hello! I’m The Omniscient Mussel. Thanks for stopping by. On this site you’ll find comment on things at least tenuously related to classical music and culture.

The OM is also the home of the #operaplot contest.

Miss Mussel has been heavily influenced by Emily Post and Sir Donald Francis Tovey and hopes to continue in the tradition of insightful commentary overlaid by razor sharp wit. Failing that, hopefully you’ll at least enjoy the comics.

Offline, Miss Mussel’s alter ego Marcia Adair, is a freelance classical music journalist, ghostwriter of non-fiction books and sometimes photographer living just west of Toronto. Her work appears in The Los Angeles Times, The Toronto Star, The Guardian with varying degrees of regularity. She has also appeared on and created content for CBC Radio 2.
