South African-born British composer John Joubert died on Monday at the age of 91. We’ll lead off the 5:00 hour (EST) remembering him with a performance of his Symphony No. 1 of 1955.
We’ll also hear some “Variations on a Theme of Handel” (from “Messiah”) by the Argentinean composer Luis Gianneo, whose birthday it is today, and one of Handel’s own concerti grossi.
Don’t forget, coming up at 6:00, it’s another “Music from Marlboro” – chamber music by György Ligeti and Ernő Dohnányi, from the legendary Marlboro Music Festival.
It’s all yet to come, between now and 7:00 EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
