Imitation isn’t just flattery. When a composer imitates another’s style, they explore what makes them great from the inside out. Bill Banfield opens a window to West Side Story composer Leonard Berstein in his piece What If Bernstein Wrote It. -
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote in all the genres of his time. Symphonies, concertos, opera, and even church music. Pause for a moment with the spiritual side of Mozart. -
The smell of cinnamon and nutmeg wafting from an apple pie fresh from the oven... Feel like you’re enveloped in warm autumn spices when you hear the Clarinet Concerto by Gerald Finzi, who was also an apple grower. -
America 250: The American Experience is celebrating the American Spirit. A soaring orchestra, intimate Spirituals on the piano, and country bluegrass. This election day, hear American music filled with joy and resilience. -
Trumpeter Ryan Anthony made his mark as a competition winner when he was young, then as principal with the Dallas Symphony and with the Canadian Brass. He soars above the quintet in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s hair-raising Queen of the Night Aria. -
One day left in the countdown to Halloween! From a horse galloping through the night to witches dancing in ritual rhythm, even an ominous clock. Join me for music that strikes a spooky tone. -
With election day right around the corner, our country and communities can feel especially divided. That’s when music can step in to help us feel whole. Hear a string orchestra piece by Jessie Montgomery designed to bring art to a time like this. -
Public radio is about community. In celebration of Public Radio Music Day, hear music that sounds like our home in Connecticut and on Long Island, including a chance to groove with young musicians on Shelter Island. -
Spacious skies, waves of grain, purple mountain majesties. In America 250: The American Experience, hear music that celebrates America the Beautiful, including a portrait of the beauty right around us in New England. -
If you like acoustic guitar, you might love lute. Like guitar, its plucked strings draw out a soft, sweet sound that pairs perfectly with flute. Ease into Monday morning with lute and flute together in a serenade.
