    Happy Birthday Bach Celebrate & Support WWFM

    Happy birthday, Bach!

    The day of reckoning is upon us. Join us as we celebrate Bach’s music and attempt to restock the station’s larder for another season.

    Our annual “Bach 500” was designed to encourage 500 listeners just like you to support us in any amount. Once we hit 500 contributions, we will be able to tally in additional money, solicited in advance, from the “Bach Pot,” and then we can all just kick back and enjoy the music.

    As a show of thanks, The Classical Network will present a free concert made up of Bach cantatas and organ works, performed by musicians from New York’s Trinity Wall Street. These are the same musicians you enjoy every Monday afternoon on “Bach at 1.” The concert will take place tonight at Miller Chapel on the campus of Princeton Theological Seminary. The program will be broadcast live at 8 p.m., so if you plan to go, please arrive no later than 7:50.

    In the meantime, join us for music and membership, today from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. I’ll be sharing the air waves and programming duties from noon to 3:00 and again from 6:00 to 8:00. I’ll also be manning the board in the studio for the duration of the concert.

    We hope you’ll be as generous as you can, but please do donate in whatever amount. Like you, we all prefer Bach to fundraising!

    Call now at 1-888-232-1212, or contribute online at wwfm.org. Thank you, as always, for your support of Bach, Beethoven, Britten, and all the rest, on WWFM – The Classical Network.

    Dryden Ensemble Celebrates Purcell Anniversary

    Ah, the Eternal Questions. Why do I bother to arrange my thoughts into paragraphs, when in the print edition the sentences get thrown together willy-nilly? Even more puzzlingly, why are my last two paragraphs transposed? Clearly some mysteries are not meant to be plumbed.

    The Dryden Ensemble will celebrate its 20th anniversary on (or, as the paper would have it, “at”) two concerts this weekend, with music of Henry Purcell. The program, “Purcell: A Theatrical Musick,” will be given at Miller Chapel on the campus of the Princeton Theological Seminary, tomorrow at 7:30 p.m., and at Trinity Episcopal Church in Solebury, Pa., Sunday at 3 p.m.

    Dryden will be joined by countertenor Ryland Angel and the Princeton High School Chamber Choir for selections from the semi-opera “King Arthur” and more.

    Read more about it in “my” article in today’s Trenton Times. At least the paragraphs are retained online, if not exactly in the sequence I imagined.
