So far, this morning on WPRB, we’ve been remembering artists who died in 2016. We’ll pick up the thread with Part II, which will air next Thursday, January 5, from 6 to 11 a.m.

For the remainder of this morning, we’ll shift gears, starting at 9:00, when I’m joined by Gail Wein, president of Classical Music Communications. Gail will talk a little bit about what she does and the artists she represents. We’ll also play from some of the CDs she’s been enjoying recently. Some of those will include music by Aaron Copland, Ben Johnston, Steve Mackey, Astor Piazzolla, and Louis Vierne.

We’ll leave the dead, for the time being, and keep it lively until 11:00, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com.
