I’m very happy to announce that, after several months off, Sandy Steiglitz of Sunday Morning Opera with Sandy will return to the airwaves tomorrow morning on WPRB. I hope you will join her for Charles Gounod’s “Roméo et Juliette,” from an historic Met broadcast featuring Jussi Björling and Bidú Sayão. The “pre-show,” a potpourri of arias and scenes, will begin at 05:30 EST; the opera itself will commence at 07:00.
WPRB has published its spring schedule. You might also be interested to know that Marvin Rosen of Classical Discoveries (which will continue to be heard from 5:30 to 11 a.m. on Wednesday mornings) will also be settling in on Mondays for the return of “Treasures of Early Music” (also from 5:30 to 11). So if you enjoy music of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque, set your alarm to 103.3 FM.
In addition, I will be coming back for another season of Classic Ross Amico, which will be heard as always on Thursdays from 6 to 11 a.m. I can’t deal with getting up any earlier, so please make note. If you tune in at 5:30, you may get blasted out of bed by the overnight playlist, which tends toward that bebop the kids are listening to these days.
WPRB, of course, offers all kinds of music throughout its broadcast day, from classical to world, from jazz to alt rock, from folk to classic rock, from ambient to I don’t-know-what-the-hell-you-call-it. You press the button, you win a prize, when you tune in to WPRB 103.3 FM and wrpb.com.
