We learned early this morning with great sadness that Blanche Moyse passed away
yesterday, we’ll hear from her recording of Bach’s St. John Passion with
the New England Bach Festival Orchestra this morning.

And, the theme for this week’s Classics for Kids is musical sleigh rides. So
we’ll open today’s show with Tchaikovsky’s "Troika" (sleigh ride), and
then hear a wide selection of other works including and Dvorak’s Sonatina for Violin & Piano.
