Thank you to all of you who contributed to yesterday’s Mozart campaign. It’s because of listeners just like you that we at WWFM are privileged to be able to do what we love to do – share great music with the community. And that community is huge! Yesterday, someone called in all the way from Nikiski, Alaska.
Unfortunately, we still came up considerably short of our projected goal, which means that we’ll have to come back and do it again sooner than we had hoped. If you had been meaning to contribute and did not have an opportunity to do so, you may still donate online at wwfm.org.
Tomorrow (Mozart’s actual birthday), the “Sunday Opera” will be devoted to a special presentation of “The Marriage of Figaro,” hosted by Michael Kownacky and David Osenberg. The performance, captured at the 1962 Glyndebourne Festival, will feature Heinz Blackenburg as Figaro and Mirella Freni as Susanna. Silvio Varviso will conduct. If you find you like it, the recording is still available as one of our thank you gifts. Search for it under the thank you gift drop-down box, when you make your online contribution.
There are also options to obtain all of the offered Mozart recordings as a bundle, with or without the handsome and durable WWFM tote bag.
Again, thank you for all that you do to help keep great music on the air on WWFM – The Classical Network.
As a token of my gratitude, please enjoy this duet from “The Magic Flute” rendered by actual birds:
