Summer?

Hi!

As I sit here at my office computer overlooking the trees lining the Charles River, watching the rain fall (again!), and muse that I should have worn a long-sleeve shirt here on the 23rd of June, the calendar nonetheless says it's summer! And, in Boston, that always means lots to enjoy.

Personally, it means that I won't be at Symphony Hall for the Pops or the BSO for the next couple of months. And, while I will miss being there live with the energy of those 2 great orchestras in that historic space, it also means that I will get to enjoy a few weekends off! :)

And, there will be plenty of live music to keep my attention over the course of the summer....beginning with the 4th of July celebration on the Esplanade! WCRB is honored to be part of the festivities again this year....we will be broadcasting from the Esplanade beginning at noon until the end of the fireworks spectacular. Keith Lockhart and the Pops always shine brilliantly at this event, and I can't wait to see it once again! It's hard to believe it's just over 2 weeks away!

This coming weekend....we're bringing back another "Classical Composer Marathon Weekend". I'll write more about what you can expect on that later this week.

In the meantime, your feedback is always welcome!

Praying for sun,
Mark
