Okay, so maybe Halloween is not for everyone.

Today’s Noontime Concert on The Classical Network will commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, which was sparked on October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther nailed his “Ninety-five Theses” to the door of All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg. To mark the occasion, we’ll share a program presented in Princeton last month by the Kinnara Ensemble, featuring works by Luther, César Franck, Thomas Tallis, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, and Hugo Distler.

Following that, Michael Kownacky will join me at 1:00. Be forewarned, the two us are feeling rather… diabolical. We’ll be force-feeding you musical candy corn until David Osenberg returns to the air waves at 4 p.m, on this, the final day of our Fall Membership Campaign. We need to wrap up this drive, in the black, by 7:00. Until then, we are very definitely “in the red” – as in scarlet.

It’s music of the sacred and the profane, on this October 31, here on WWFM – The Classical Network. Please support us at wwfm.org or by calling 1-888-232-1212.
