This afternoon on The Classical Network, it will be a veritable clown car full of birthday anniversaries, as we celebrate the artistry of composers William Billings (the Early American tanner), Felix Draeseke (a protégé of Liszt), Bernhard Molique (admirer of Spohr), and Ivan Jirko (the Czech psychiatrist), conductors Charles Dutoit and Alfred Wallenstein, and pianists Shura Cherkassky and Yundi Li.

So much music, so little time. We’ll be handing out gifts like so many cream pies, from 4 to 7 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
