This week on “Picture Perfect,” ring in a new year with Jules Verne’s novels of science, progress and adventure.

Enjoy music from “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” (Paul J. Smith), “In Search of the Castaways” (William Alwyn), “Journey to the Center of the Earth” (Bernard Herrmann), and “Around the World in 80 Days” (Victor Young).

Verne’s characters frequently venture into the unknown, yet manage to overcome all obstacles. Of course, it doesn’t hurt carry a harpoon, just in case.

Raise a glass to Jules Verne with Phileas Fogg and Passepartout, on “Picture Perfect,” music for the movies, this Saturday evening at 6:00 EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
