The upcoming weekend on WCRB

Hi there,

It's wonderful to be enjoying June, isn't it? I love the weather and how green everything is this time of year. I also love listening to WCRB while I'm out wasting gas and enjoying the countryside. It helps me to forget that I've just spent $2.55 a gallon for the privelege!

This coming weekend, we're going to be resurrecting some amazing music and performances from WCRB's archives. As you know, WCRB has been on the air for over 60 years, and we have a pretty extensive collection of music. We thought we'd feature some of the great recordings from the archives. We're calling it the WCRB "Classic Performances Weekend."

I've found many recordings featuring legends from all over the planet, and we'll feature some of the world's greatest all weekend. It's noteworthy to point out how much the city of Boston has contributed to the classical community over the years, as well! Not only do we have the treasuries of Arthur Fiedler's performances, we've also unearthed some vintage performances from BSO leaders Charles Munch, Pierre Monteux, even Bruno Walter! And, we've found some wonderful Leonard Bernstein performances that we'll share with you, too.

I hope you will have the chance to listen...and re-discover these performances with us. It all starts at 4 in the afternoon on Friday.

Best,
Mark
