    Brazilian Music on WWFM This Afternoon

    For those of you under the spell of the Summer Olympics in Rio, you’ll have some more opportunities to enjoy some Brazilian music this afternoon, including works by Camargo Guarnieri and Heitor Villa-Lobos; also a piece inspired by Brazil by David Gunn.

    In addition, we’ll be celebrating the birthday anniversaries of French composers Cécile Chaminade and André Jolivet. I hope you’ll join me in some musical globetrotting this afternoon and early evening, from 4 to 7 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.
