Happy birthday, Ludwig van!
There’s not much I need to say about Beethoven. Not satisfied merely to be the summation of his era, he pushed so hard that he’s influenced the development of music history ever since.
Today, The Classical Network will honor The Master with a full day of his symphonies, beginning at 10 a.m. ET. It will also honor the listener by broadcasting them complete and uninterrupted. Along the way there will be some colorful commentary and some fun additions.
This is also a 10k “challenge day,” as Princeton’s Municipal Capital Management LLC has challenged the station and its listeners to bring in $10,000. If that goal is achieved before the final notes of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony have sounded, Municipal Capital Management will match every dollar up to $10,000, resulting in (doing the simple math) $20,000 for WWFM. At which point, an Ode to Joy would certainly be in order.
If you enjoy programs like “Picture Perfect” and “The Lost Chord,” or any of the other music that comes your way courtesy of The Classical Network, please consider lending your support.
Remember, your pledge today will be doubled. You can donate online at http://www.wwfm.org, or by calling 1-800-232-1212.
On behalf of The Classical Network, thank you!
