Music - Summer Highlights
Mozart at Noon, Every Day
in June
Everyone deserves a vacation, including the
Tranquil Tune at Noon. Filling in for the
TT@12 during the month of June will be performances
of Mozart’s piano concertos, symphonies,
violin sonatas, and more. You’ll hear
a balance of new talent—Hilary Hahn, Lise
de la Salle, etc.—and old masters like
Vladimir Horowitz, and Isaac Stern.
An Americana Weekend
July 4th–5th
Enjoy classics from sea to shining sea, featuring U.S. composers and performers, both
native and adopted. (Above, from top left: Aaron Copland, Louis Moreau Gottschalk,
Amy Beach, John Williams, John Philip Sousa, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein,
and Ferde Grofe) plus many patriotic favorites for Independence Day.
Bastille Day
July 14th
Vive la France! We storm the Bastille and
emancipate the airwaves for Great Classical
Music with works by French composers,
from Delalande to Debussy. Also enjoy performances
by French soloists, ensembles, and
symphony orchestras.
Cinema Classics Weekend
August 15th–16th
Grab your large bag of popcorn and take your
seat as we play the soundtrack music from
some of your favorite movies, all taken from
the classical repertoire.
Women’s Equality Day

We shine the spotlight on female composers
who have long languished in the shadows.

more.
