Classical Music with Shawn Evans - Wed, 02/20/2013

          

          

       

  
After three works on the problematic Roman leader Coriolanus, we'll continue with yesterday's sampling of new releases (or, again, "new" at least to our library).  Don't forget that the Richmond Symphony will be holding another fundraising music marathon this Saturday with non-stop performances at Nordstrom's in Short Pump.  You can sponsor a performance (sort of like sponsoring a person in a charity walk) or just listen.  More information at richmondsymphony.com.

  • The Wallace Collection, John Wallace / Coriolanus Overture
  • BBC Scottish Symphony, Martyn Brabbins / Incidental Music from Coriolanus, op. 61

Classical Music with Shawn Evans - Tue, 02/19/2013

          

          

       

  
All new releases on today's program (or at least new to our library), including a Grammy-winner from eighth blackbird--Ensemble in Residence at the University of Richmond..


And, while I'm thinking about local music, the Richmond Symphony will be holding another fundraising music marathon this Saturday with non-stop performances at Nordstrom's in Short Pump.  You can sponsor a performance (sort of like sponsoring a person in a charity walk) or just listen.  More information at richmondsymphony.com.

For a belated Mardi Gras (sort of a "Jeudi Gras"), I'll have music from New Orleans-born composers.  That will mean we also need some penitential music for Lent.  And, for Valentine's Day, some lesser-known (but no less sensual) pieces.
