This week’s programme starts with a Mozart piano trio, then a couple of absorbing contemporary works, followed by two songs about the cold from Schubert. Vaughan Williams next with The Banks of Green Willow. The second half of the show has some Rossini, Jennifer Higdon, Malcolm Arnold and finishes with O Let me Weep from Purcell’s The Fairy Queen. Tune in if you can.
Both Channel 292 and WBCQ as well as WWCR can be pulled live off the internet if the reception is poor in your location. Easy to find their sites with a google search.
Help needed at Channel 292 in Germany. 292 is struggling financially. They are renting out airtime to the Overcomer Ministry to try and bring in funds. Revenue is dependent on feedback – please help them by sending a simple reception report to:
In the meantime – thank you for spreading the word about Encore – Classical Music on Shortwave. And thank you to everyone for letting us know how well the signal is received where you live.
