Classical Afternoons for May

Weekdays from 2pm-7pm

Those "May flowers" are taking their time amidst the May showers, but there's plenty of music on the radio this month to keep a spring in our step.

Classical Afternoons for April

Weekday Afternoons from 2pm-7pm

Walking in sandals in the afternoon, drinking hot chocolate by evening. April in Rochester is delightfully confusing. Keep the radio playing, and we'll keep singing and dancing through these April showers (snow, rain, and whatever else may come).

Classical Afternoons for March

Weekday Afternoons from 2pm-7pm

March has come in like a gray, windy lion, and I’m still holding out for a big blizzard this spring. How about you? Sun or snow? Or just tired of talking about the weather? Gray skies or blue, the music continues throughout the afternoon and evening on Classical 91.5 and 90.3 this month.

Opera...in Space!

from Mona Seghatoleslami, posted: 04/30/2012 - 11:18pm

This weekend, I went to Illinois to see Paradises Lost, by Stephen Andrew Taylor, with a libretto by Marcia Johnson, based on a novella Ursula K. Leguin.

Science fiction opera! I'm so excited that two different things that I love (reading science fiction and listening to opera), have come together.

George Eastman's Memorial Music

from Mona Seghatoleslami, posted: 03/14/2012 - 11:03pm

I just read an article commemorating George Eastman's passing 80 years ago today. When visitng the George Eastman House recently, I noticed that the program from his memorial service was on display (near his laconic and poignant suicide note). Eastman's memorial service included music by Beethoven, Locatelli, Wagner, and Howard Hanson.
