Summer’s a busy season for Classical music lovers.

I thought I’d take a moment in this blog to mention some special events/on air programming, coming up for us (and you) our valued listeners, during the summer months.
First, your invited to join us for another exciting July 4th broadcast, live from the Esplanade in Boston. It’s on a Saturday this year which should make it (could it be?) even better than ever! I had a chance to talk with Keith Lockheart (master of ceremonies) for this great New England event a few days ago and his enthusiasm was contagious…this is his 15th year with the Pops you know.
Next, of course, is Tanglewood. We’ll have live broadcasts with the Boston Symphony for you Friday and Saturday nights, as well as Sunday afternoons this summer, (as we’ve done for many years now). Their schedule is looking great too. Opening Night will be on July 3rd, James Levine leading the BSO in a terrific all-Tchaikovsky program with pianist Yefim Bronfman. Also Joshua Bell returns this year to perform the Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1, July 18th, John Williams leads the Boston Pops in the always-popular Film Night at Tanglewood and there’s lots-lots-lots more. If you can’t be there…be here! We’ll keep you up to date.
I also hope you continue to enjoy the music I bring you during the evening hours here on WCRB and remember if you’d like, send along a note, I’d love to hear from you!

Till Next time, stay listening:
