  • Samuel Barber on WWFM Today

    Samuel Barber on WWFM Today

    It’s unusual for me to do double-duty on Thursday, but that’s exactly what will happen today, as I scoot over for an afternoon of production work and live broadcasting at WWFM. (I’m generally there anyway, trying to get my recorded programs in for the weekend.)

    Today, we’ll celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the great American composer, Samuel Barber (b. 1910). It’s a beautiful day, so I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if we have our share of American romantics. We’ll also hear from Czech composer Josef Mysliveček (b. 1737). Mysliveček was a close friend of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, so that will take care of the classicism.

    Eat your heart out, Tony Stark. I’m pulling the iron man shift today, from 4 to 7 p.m. EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network at wwfm.org.

    Samuel Barber contemplates Iron Man. (Please don’t sue me, Marvel.)

  • Presidents Day Musical Celebration

    Presidents Day Musical Celebration

    Presidents Day. Hopefully you hit the white sales early, so that now you can sit back and enjoy the music. We’ll have works inspired by Washington and Lincoln, with observances of a number of other, musical birthday anniversaries along the way, from 4 to 7 p.m. EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.

  • Debussy Birthday Celebration A French Holiday

    Debussy Birthday Celebration A French Holiday

    It’s widely perceived that the French really understand how to enjoy life. Why else would Claude Debussy be sitting on a beach fully clothed and holding a parasol? Come to think of it, I guess everyone went to the beach dressed like that in those days (as I still prefer to do).

    Join me for une petite vacance, as I celebrate the birthday of Claude Debussy, from 4 to 7 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.

  • Back on Air WWFM The Classical Network

    Back on Air WWFM The Classical Network

    I am pleased to announce that I will be returning to WWFM – The Classical Network for regular air shifts for the first time in over two years. For the rest of the summer and for the foreseeable future, you’ll be able to enjoy my dulcet tones (and, more importantly, my impeccable taste in music) by tuning in on Monday, Wednesday and every other Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. I’ll also be filling in on Tuesday early afternoon for an indefinite period, from noon to 4 p.m. Listen locally at 89.1 FM or online at wwfm.org. A complete list of frequencies is available at the station’s website. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes… It will be interesting to get back to doing live air work again on The Classical Network.
