Support Classical Music Radio WWFM Donate Now

It’s the end of October already. Time to fortify ourselves against the harsher months. A simple click of the mouse can help us squirrel away a little something against a snowy day.

If you love what we do at The Classical Network, and classical music is an indispensable part of your life, please support it by contributing right now at wwfm.org (click on “donate”), or by calling us at 1-888-232-1212.

We’ll be on the air today and tomorrow, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. EDT, to remind you why The Classical Network is your radio station of choice.

Join me this afternoon, from 4 to 7, to celebrate autumn, to acknowledge the birthdays of Peter Warlock and Frans Brüggen, and to get a jump a Halloween. At 6:00, we’ll have a special performance of André Caplet’s “Conte fantastique,” inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death,” on “Music from Marlboro.”

Help make this a gathering of gratitude. If you’re nutty for great music, keep us bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, by calling us right now at 1-888-232-1212, or by leaving us a little seed money (bird seed, that is) at wwfm.org.

With your help, we can make our nut. Thank you for your support of WWFM – The Classical Network.

Classical Music Summer Escape No Travel Needed

Any exciting trips planned for the summer? You don’t need a plane ticket or even a car to be transported.

We know the music we share on The Classical Network has the power to take you places. Whether your thoughts are guided by descriptive titles (“Capriccio Espagnol,” “Hungarian Rhapsody,” the “Grand Canyon Suite”), your intellect engaged by the trajectory of a symphony or a fugue, or your sense of fantasy stirred by a transcendent performance, we are your source – and destination – for great music.

We at The Classical Network are always happy to do the driving. But this week we’re asking you to chip in for the gas. After all, it is the end of our fiscal year. Your gift in any amount will make you a member, and it will ensure that we have enough fuel for our continuing adventures. Call us today at 1-888-232-1212, or donate online at wwfm.org.

With WWFM – The Classical Network, you never have to worry about what to pack. We depart this afternoon at 4:00 EDT. With your help, we will go far. Thank you, as always, for your support!

Bach 500 Help WWFM Unlock $17K Now

Help us to get our affairs in order. Be one of the last of the “Bach 500.” 500 listener contributions IN ANY AMOUNT will unlock the Bach Pot. That means NOW $17,000 in challenge money for the station, which will enable us to celebrate the genius of Johann Sebastian Bach without fundraising interruptions. We’ve got only about 130 contributions to go at this point. It’s hero time! Click on “donate” at wwfm.org, or call 1-888-232-1212.

Again, it doesn’t matter how much you give in order to be counted toward the 500. All that matters is that we reach 500 contributions. Once that happens, everything will be in its proper place. Restore order to our existence!

I’ll be on the air today from 3 to 5:00 p.m. EDT. Less talk and more music, that’s my motto. Help make it happen. Thank you for your support of WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org!

St Valentine Skull Classical Music and Mortality

Roses are red; Rosses are blue.

Here’s my annual posting of the skull of St. Valentine. Think of it as a memento mori.

Relationships die. You’ll die. I’ll die. Everything and everyone we’ve ever cared about will be gone eventually. But while we’re here, we can at least keep classical music on the radio.

Call now and make your Valentine’s donation to WWFM – The Classical Network at 1-888-232-1212. Or be bitter like me, circumvent humanity, and contribute online at wwfm.org.

Thank you for ensuring a modicum of beauty in our bleak existence.
