Get ready to hoist a glass with Sir John. Coming up at around 8:30, it’s Edward Elgar’s symphonic study “Falstaff.”

Then at 9:00, we’ll be joined by William Hobbs, music director of Westminster Opera Theatre, and Trent Blanton, stage director for Westminster’s production of Verdi’s “Falstaff,” which will be performed at the Robert L. Annis Playhouse on the campus of Westminster Choir College in Princeton this Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Later, it’s on to the dramatic symphony “Romeo and Juliet,” by Hector Berlioz.

It’s all music inspired by Shakespeare every Thursday morning in April, as we remember the Bard on the 400th anniversary of his death (on April 23, 1616), on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com.
