We all catch a break today. We got an extra hour’s sleep (in theory, anyway) – if you remembered to change your clocks – and we get a week off from “The Lost Chord,” as tonight’s show will be preempted, because of a special broadcast.
Rob Kapilow will bring his popular radio program “What Makes It Great” to Mercer County Community College’s Black Box Theatre (adjacent to the WWFM studios) for an invitation-only presentation. I believe the plan is for Rob himself this time to illustrate his lively deconstructions with musical examples and performances on piano and guitar. The event will be broadcast live, beginning at 7:00 EST.
Due to this special event, “The Dress Circle” with Ted Otten and Michael Kownacky will be heard this evening at 9:00, “The Lyric Stage” with Mike Harrah will be heard at 10:00, and probably “The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center” will be heard at 11:00. All I know is that Carl Hemmingsen and I get the boot. So no “The Lost Chord” or “Half Past” this week, which is fine, because you’ll all want to hit the hay early anyway in order to start your work week on the right foot.
Kapilow’s appearance is part of WWFM’s “40 and Forward” membership campaign, celebrating the station’s 40th year. If you haven’t had a chance to show your support, consider tossing us a few acorns. We’ve been enjoying a reprieve from the cold weather, but most assuredly winter is on the way and the larders need to be fortified.
We’ll continue to fiddle for our supper, but we can only do so thanks to the generosity of listeners like you. Help ensure a future of WWFM – The Classical Network sharing great music in our community and around the world with your donation today at wwfm.org.
Enjoy the programming, and thank you, as always for your support!
