I hope you’ll join me this afternoon, as we anticipate the arrival of spring (at 5:58 p.m.), the Jewish festival of Purim (at sunset), and the Super Worm Equinox Moon (full at 9:43 p.m.). We’ll also celebrate the birthdays today of pianist Sviatoslav Richter and heldentenor Lauritz Melchior.

To coincide with the vernal equinox, it will be an all-Bach hour on “Music from Marlboro” at 6 – performances from the legendary Marlboro Music Festival. Don’t forget to join the Bach 500, if you haven’t already. 500 donations IN ANY AMOUNT will allow us to unlock this year’s Bach Pot. It’s worth over $14,000 to us. Call now at 1-888-232-1212 or donate online at wwfm.org.

Remember, it’s listeners just like you who put the spring in our step, from 4 to 7 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
