Be there for the B minor.
Join The Classical Network for a live broadcast of “What Makes It Great,” featuring composer, conductor, author, and commentator Rob Kapilow. The event will take place tonight at 8:00 at Princeton High School, where select young musicians from three area youth orchestras – the Youth Orchestra of Central Jersey, the Greater Princeton Youth Orchestra, and the Youth Orchestra of Bucks County – will combine into an All-Star Youth Orchestra to perform Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 8 in B minor, the so-called “Unfinished.”
Kapilow will discuss what makes the symphony “great,” his observations illustrated with passages played by the orchestra, and then the orchestra will perform the symphony in its entirety. A Q&A session will follow. The concert will be broadcast and also streamed live on the station’s Facebook page:

Today, yours truly will host into the early evening hours, providing music for your afternoon commute and getting you primed for the 8 p.m. broadcast of “What Makes It Great.” I’ll be spinning the discs, beginning at 4 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
