A lousy night’s sleep, but lots of great music ahead, including Strauss conducting Strauss (on his birthday); Bernstein conducting American music (by request); birthday candles for Carl Nielsen (6/9), Carlisle Floyd (6/11), and Carlos Chavez (6/13); in studio visits by Richard Tang Yuk, artistic director of the Princeton Festival (who will conduct “The Marriage of Figaro” at McCarter Theatre, starting this weekend), and members of the Assisi Quartet (who will talk about Olivier Messiaen, in anticipation of their concert tonight at Westminster Choir College’s Bristol Chapel).
I hope you’ll join me, from 6 to 11 a.m.: WPRB 103.3 FM, or online at wprb.com.
Keep it classy with… zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
