Music on Irish themes will be as numerous as the shamrocks of the field, with nary a snake to be found, thanks be to St. Patrick. This morning on WPRB, we’ll have works by Irish composers, composers of Irish descent, and plenty of Irish-for-a-day. I hope you’ll join me for an abundance of reels, whimsy, and sentiment for the Emerald Isle.

At 10:00, I’ll be joined by Christopher Lyndon-Gee. Lyndon-Gee will guest conduct the Princeton Symphony Orchestra at Richardson Auditorium this Sunday at 4 p.m., in a program featuring music by Sir Edward Elgar and Carl Nielsen. Lyndon-Gee, a prolific recording artist who has garnered five Grammy nominations, will share a few insights into this weekend’s program, and then surprise us with a selection of his recorded performances. Refreshingly, his musical interests lay well off the beaten path.

Don’t let the Italian surname fool you. My mother’s people came from Ireland. That said, I’ll be needin’ to kiss the blarney stone to get through five hours of music and conversation, from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. I’ve got dark circles around my half-Irish eyes, on Classic Ross Amico.
