    Warm Autumn Blues on WPRB

    Why is it whenever I do one of these shows, it’s projected to hit 75 degrees?

    This Thursday morning on WPRB, it’s our annual tribute to Autumn – and as usual, she’s a no-show. Face it, folks, a handful of days excepted, it’s been an unusually warm season, and some of the trees don’t seem to know what to do. I guess it’s good for the deer, but the rest of us are starving – for hot cider, November woods, wool sweaters, and migrating geese. Halloween is past; bring it on already!

    Still, a few of the trees seem to have gotten the memo. This one goes out to them. Maybe the rest will pick up on the vibe already. Tune in for some color commentary, this Thursday morning from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. The times they are a-changin’, even if the leaves aren’t, on Classic Ross Amico.

    With Halloween safely in our rear view mirror, I guess this is about as autumnal as it’s going to get. This Thursday morning on WPRB, we’ll ignore the stubborn temperatures and the tenacious greenery to celebrate the joy and melancholy of this most exhilarating of seasons.

    We’ll have a vibrant mix of concerted works, works for voice, solo instrumental and chamber music, and even symphonies, in praise of apples, Bacchus, and the colors of autumn.

    Get ready for the mother of all leaf fights, this Thursday morning from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. I’ll be fortifying myself with pie and cider, on Classic Ross Amico.

    “It’s Autumn Time!” I just kicked off this afternoon’s playlist with Leo Sowerby’s organ work of that name. As of 4:02 p.m., we have entered the most glorious season, IMHO. Join me for tea, cookies, and euphoria until 7:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.

    Autumn Music with Clipper Erickson on WPRB

    Autumn is in the air!

    Well, maybe not, but it will certainly be ON the air, this morning on WPRB, as we drag Jack Frost kicking and screaming back from his vacation in the Bahamas, with a playlist evocative of changing, falling, and/or decaying leaves. Sure, it’s supposed to hit 75 degrees, but why deprive ourselves of the bittersweet pleasures of crisp apples, November woods, and wild geese?

    Clipper Erickson, piano, will swing by the studio around 9:00 to talk about his upcoming concert, which will take place at Salem United Church of Christ in Doylestown, on Sunday at 3 p.m. The program will include Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition.” Clipper, who is on the faculties of Westminster Conservatory of Music and Temple University, is hot off a recital at the Steinway Salon at New York’s Symphony Space. He is always up to something (he’ll be appearing on another concert at 1867 Sanctuary at Ewing in a little over a week), so I’m sure there will be lots to talk about and plenty of music to enjoy.

    Bundle up and grab a rake; we disdain all leaf-blowers, from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. We make like a tree and leave, on Classic Ross Amico.

  • 70 Degree November Autumn Music on WPRB

    70 Degree November Autumn Music on WPRB

    What’s the deal with 70 degree November? They want us to change our clocks; can’t we just reset the calendar? But I guess that’s been tried a couple of times. At least the trees seem to understand the time of year.

    Tomorrow morning on WPRB, we will be conjuring an idealized autumn, with music reflective of the season’s two faces – on the one hand, the riotous colors of changing leaves, with rowdy kids pumped up on mad cider and candy corn; on the other, steely skies and denuded trees.

    Jack Frost will be out with his paint kit, even as temperatures are slated to spike into the mid-70s. The geese will be hightailing it south for the winter, from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. It’s always autumn in our hearts, on Classic Ross Amico.
