Thanks to all of you who helped us along this month on the “Bach 500” (and I did see some of your names on the computer screen yesterday). We’re still a little shy of the desired 500 contributions, so if you haven’t given yet, it’s not too late. Remember, you set the amount. It doesn’t matter how much you pledge, just that we receive 500 donations, from listeners just like you. Call during regular business hours, at 1-888-232-1212, or support us any time at wwfm.org. Again, thank you for all that you do for The Classical Network!
For today, we move beyond Bach, with musical stops in Scotland, as we celebrate the birthday of Hamish MacCunn, and Finland, as we observe the anniversary of the birth of Tauno Pylkkänen. We’ll also have music by Pulitzer Prize winner Joseph Schwantner, a selection from the Requiem of musical theatre superstar Andrew Lloyd Webber, and some musical jokes courtesy of Gerard Hoffnung.
Join me today, from 4 to 7 EDT, to hear what your support hath wrought, on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.
