  • Third Day of Christmas Remembering Oscar Levant

    Third Day of Christmas Remembering Oscar Levant

    THE THIRD DAY OF CHRISTMAS

    “Happiness isn’t something you experience; it’s something you remember.”

    Oscar Levant (1906-1972)

    Happy birthday, kindred spirit!

    P.S. Marvin Rosen’s “Viva 21st Century” marathon is underway (it began at 2 p.m. ET) on WPRB Princeton, at 103.3 FM or http://www.wprb.com. Enjoy Marvin for 25 hours, as he is buoyed up by energy snacks, tea and his boundless enthusiasm for contemporary music. It’s all very un-Oscar Levant.

    Levant plays Gershwin:

    Trenton NYE: Classical Music Celebrations

    End of the year celebrations make up the meat of my article in today’s Trenton Times.

    The New Jersey Capital Philharmonic Orchestra will present a New Year’s Eve concert at the Trenton War Memorial, beginning at 8 p.m. on 12/31 (obviously). The program will be simulcast over WWFM The Classical Network, which can be heard locally at 89.1 FM, or at http://www.wwfm.org.

    In other radio news,Marvin Rosen of “Classical Discoveries” will host a 24-hour “plus” marathon of contemporary music, “Viva 21st Century,” over WPRB Princeton, beginning at 2 p.m. tomorrow and concluding at 3 p.m. Sunday. WPRB may be heard at 103.3 FM, with streaming at http://www.wprb.com.

    The reality of New Year’s Eve is generally pretty terrible, but good music makes the bitter pill go down easier.
