In this week’s blog, I’d just like to take the opportunity, to extend a personal invitation to you, to join us for our “Composer Marathon Weekend” here on WCRB, all weekend long. One, Two and Three hour blocks of music from all the great composers. As you may know, I begin the evenings here on WCRB, weeknights with Dinner Classics at 7pm, then onto our All Time Classic around 9, followed by Night Light Classics till midnight.
This weekend beginning at 4pm, Friday, it will be a great chance to hear several works, all by the same composer…back to back to back. Friday’s Dinner Classics begins with music by Bach…I’ll feature one of his Brandenburg Concerto’s, a Violin concerto, Orchestral Suite and more. After that… a three hour block of compositions by Tchaikovsky including his Serenade for Strings, Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, his only Violin concerto and several other selections. Saturday night, I’ll have a three hour block of music by Dvorak including his “New World” Symphony, American String Quartet, Symphony #8 and others. There will also be blocks by Vaughan Williams, Saint-Saens and more. I hope you can join me/us for this exciting weekend of terrific music.
Till next time, stay listening:
