There’s more to America than just the United States.
Today’s Noontime Concert on The Classical Network will highlight the Philadelphia-based Dolce Suono Ensemble’s “Música en tus Manos: The Americas” project. “Música en tus Manos” (“Music in Your Hands”) is an outreach initiative that explores the artistic contributions of Spain and the Americas as part of the ensemble’s ongoing engagement with Philadelphia’s Latino community.
Among the composers represented on today’s broadcast will be Joaquin Turina (Spain), Ernesto Lecuona (Cuba), and Jennifer Higdon, Ned Rorem, and Jelly Roll Morton (U.S.A.). Dolce Suono’s artistic director, flutist Mimi Stillman, will co-host with WWFM’s David Osenberg.
Then stick around. I’ll be by at 1:35 to bring Canada into the mix with the “Ottawa” Symphony by Robert Farnon, whose birthday it is today. In fact, I think I can pretty much promise you a New World in music until 4 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
