I suppose there’s no point in denying it after this week, so I’m going to jump right in. This Thursday morning on WPRB, it’s all music related in some way to summer and summery diversions. There will be music inspired by this, my most-hated season, as well as works about water, gardens and getaways.

Members of So Percussion will drop by in the 8:00 hour to knock some sense into me and to talk a bit about the So Percussion Summer Institute (SoSI), now in progress at locations in and around Princeton University. The two week program for college-age percussionists and composers is chock-full of free concerts, some of them in very public places, such as Princeton Record Exchange, Small World Coffee, and Albert Hinds Plaza. If you haven’t looked into it, you can find more information and a complete schedule here:

SoSI runs through August 1.

I hope you’ll slather yourself with lotion, put on some shades, and join me in my air conditioned, subterranean bunker this week, as we celebrate summer, tomorrow morning from 6 to 11 ET, on WPRB 103.3 FM or at wprb.com.

Keep it cool with Classic Ross Amico.
