Jazz And Beyond

The path through (and to!) classical music is far from linear, but the many branches and tributaries along the way make the experience all the more interesting. This morning we’ll hear jazzy influences from Shostakovich and Gershwin, along with Gustav Holst’s setting of Sanskrit writings.

Joe Green

This week’s Classics for Kids showcases the music of Giuseppe Verdi (or, Americanized, that would be Mr. "Joe Green".) We’ll continue the exploration in the 8am hour today including highlights from Aida, Otello, Nabucco, and La Traviata.
