Around 8:00 this Thursday morning, we’ll pause in our five-hour sesquicentennial celebration of the music of neglected French composer Charles Koechlin on WPRB to speak with pianist Emiko Edwards.

Edwards will join the Bravura Philharmonic Orchestra and its music director Chiu-Tze Lin in Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto. The performance will be the centerpiece of a holiday concert to be given this Sunday night at 7:00 at Princeton Alliance Church in Plainsboro, NJ. Also on the program will be the “Polovtsian Dances” by Alexander Borodin, the “Toy Symphony” attributed to Franz Joseph Haydn, and selections from Handel’s “Messiah,” along with a holiday audience sing-along. More information is available at bravuraphil.org.

Then I hope you’ll stick around, following our conversation, as we’ve got a cornucopia of Koechlin, including his “Seven Stars Symphony” – its individual movements inspired by legendary actors of classic cinema (Douglas Fairbanks, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Charlie Chaplin, etc.), who were his contemporaries – until 11:00 EST, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com.
