Hello Dali Surreal Summer Heat
Hello, Dali!
It’s a surreal world wherein 90 degrees is celebrated as “cooler.” Can’t wait to start complaining about the snow again…

Cool Classics for a Hot Summer Day
With projected heat index values of 103, we’ll attempt to keep our cool today with soothing thoughts of summer and summery diversions. We’ll have vacation music, music inspired by leisurely pursuits, water music, images of fountains, and aural evocations of perfumed breezes wafting through gently swaying greenery. Join me on this lazy afternoon for some languid classics, from 12 to 4 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.

Cool Classical Music for Summer Heat
Enough already! With another “excessive heat warning” in effect this afternoon and heat index values expected to hit 106, let’s seek some musical relief, shall we, with works evocative of water, of winter, of cooler climes, and of simply kicking back and taking it easy. So far we’ve had refreshment from the likes of Jacques Ibert, Ottorino Respighi, Charles Tomlinson Griffes, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Joan Tower and Peter Ilych Tchaikovsky. Tune in and chill out until 4:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.

Summer Music on WPRB with So Percussion
I suppose there’s no point in denying it after this week, so I’m going to jump right in. This Thursday morning on WPRB, it’s all music related in some way to summer and summery diversions. There will be music inspired by this, my most-hated season, as well as works about water, gardens and getaways.
Members of So Percussion will drop by in the 8:00 hour to knock some sense into me and to talk a bit about the So Percussion Summer Institute (SoSI), now in progress at locations in and around Princeton University. The two week program for college-age percussionists and composers is chock-full of free concerts, some of them in very public places, such as Princeton Record Exchange, Small World Coffee, and Albert Hinds Plaza. If you haven’t looked into it, you can find more information and a complete schedule here:

SoSI runs through August 1.
I hope you’ll slather yourself with lotion, put on some shades, and join me in my air conditioned, subterranean bunker this week, as we celebrate summer, tomorrow morning from 6 to 11 ET, on WPRB 103.3 FM or at wprb.com.
Keep it cool with Classic Ross Amico.
