Once more unto the beach, dear friends!

This morning on “Sweetness and Light,” for Labor Day weekend, we’ll wring the last from our beach towels as we bid farewell to the summer season.

I’ll have two works that are Jersey Shore specific, including the “Cape May Suite” by Rick Sowash (who lives in Cincinnati) and “The Atlantic City Pageant” by John Philip Sousa – named for the famous beauty pageant and given its first performance on Atlantic City’s Steel Pier.

We’ll also hear from Virgil Thomson, Émile Waldteufel, Ronald Binge, Clive Richardson, Ralph Vaughan Williams, John Williams, and Morton Gould.

It will be hotter than Harfleur, but we’ll seek solace in the surf. Join me by the seaside for the last throes of summer, on “Sweetness and Light,” this Saturday morning at 11:00 EDT/8:00 PDT, exclusively on KWAX Classical Oregon!
