Broadcast schedule: • Aug 27: Heaven & Earth (due to an error in broadcast when this was originally supposed to air on July 23, we have rescheduled the broadcast for Aug 27). Heaven and Earth meet in this combination of two 20th century masterworks: Respighi was inspired by four different church windows, and the stories they tell, when writing his colorful work Vetrate di Chiesa. Then experience one of the most beloved choral pieces of all time: Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, describing the serenity of heaven, the earthly delights, and suffering of men, as well as the futility of fate. • Sept 3: Revolution. Revolutions abound in this program of groundbreaking compositions, including Miguel del Aguila’s The Giant Guitar, Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 12, commemorating the Russian Revolution of 1917. • Sept 10: Four Seasons. Experience two blockbusters: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Mozart’s Requiem.
