O for a Muse of Fire!

We’re celebrating Shakespeare this week – and over the next three Thursday mornings – on Classic Ross Amico. Stick around for an extended suite from the Laurence Olivier film of “Henry V,” with Christopher Plummer the narrator.

We’ll take a short break in the music around 9:00 for a worthy cause, as we are joined by representatives of the Foundation Academies Charter School in Trenton. Students of the Academy will join cellist Michelle Djokic, artistic director of Concordia Chamber Players, for a fundraising concert to acquire instruments for the students at Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie Mansion, this Saturday at 4 p.m.

Then on Sunday at 3 p.m., the students will attend Concordia’s next concert at Trinity Episcopal Church, Solebury, PA., that will feature works by Mozart, Brahms and Michael Daugherty. Hopefully you will consider being there, as well. We’ll hear more about it, plus the Foundation Academy’s “Stand Partners” program, during the course of their visit.

Then it’s back to music. Plenty of Shakespeare yet to come this morning, until 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 and at wprb.com
