This Week At The Classical Station

by Rob Kennedy
Tuesday, March 24, 2020
On March 24 we observe the birthdays of American pianist Byron Janis (1928-) Canadian violinist Angèle Dubeau (1962-). Byron Janis studied with Vladimir Horowitz. He is known for his interpretation of the music of Frederic Chopin. A distinguished violinist in her own right, Ms. Dubeau and La Pietá, the ensemble which she founded in 1997, are highly-acclaimed both in Canada and worldwide.

This evening instead of Monday Night at the Symphony we'll have Break The Announcer. This is a tradition on the Monday evening during our Fund Drives. Our longtime volunteer announcer, Andy Huber, will match your gifts to The Classical Station for as long as his bank account holds up or until 10 p.m., whichever comes first! Join in the fun and Break The Announcer beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern.

You can enjoy the concert beginning at 8 p.m. on 89.7 FM in Central North Carolina and streaming everywhere online and on our apps.

Are you homeschooling your children while school is closed? Our programming is ideal for the Music component of your lesson plans. Our announcers love the music they play. Better yet, you can schedule your Music lesson anytime convenient for you. All you have to do is consult What's Playing to see what your children will be hearing.

In addition to listening the beautiful music with them, enrich your lessons by showing them the birthdays for the day. Our birthday posts here and on Facebook have links to source material about the composers and performers. For even more enrichment, search Spotify and YouTube for composers and performers. There's a wealth of material you can use. Finally, please share your Music lesson tips and ideas on Facebook. Together we will get through these difficult days.

On March 23 we observe the birthdays of German composer Julius Reubke (1834-1858), Austrian composer Franz Schreker (1878-1934), French composer Eugène Gigout (1844-1925), English composer Edmund Rubbra (1901-1986), and English mezzo-soprano Dame Janet Baker (1953-). While Herr Reubke died very young at the age of 24, he will be forever remembered by organists for his monumental composition entitled Sonata on the 94th Psalm. Herr Schreker was known as an opera composer. A pupil of Camille Saint-Saëns, Monsieur Gigout was an organist who taught Léon Boëllmann and André Marchal among others. A prolific composer, Edmund Rubbra wrote 11 symphonies and many other works in a variety of genres. Active from the 50s to the 80s, Dame Janet Baker was highly regarded for her interpretations of baroque as well as contemporary music.
