AAAANNNNNNNND the winner is… Johannes Brahms!
In our annual contest between the two Romantic titans who share May 7 as a birthday (born seven years apart), Brahms is the victor with more listener votes.
Thank all of you who participated in our one-day salute to Brahms and Tchaikovsky. We still have a few dollars to go to meet our goal of $7000, but we’ll be here for the next little while to take any remaining calls of support at 1-888-232-1212. Remember, if you have a hard time getting through, you can also donate this evening at your leisure at wwfm.org.
Don’t be sour, Peter Ilych. You won last year. Better luck next time. In the end, it’s really classical music on the radio that wins. Happy birthday to you both! And thank you to our listener-members for coming through, yet again, for WWFM – The Classical Network.
