"In March, Friday Morning and Saturday Afternoon Classics will celebrate, with springtime exuberance, two classical music milestones of this year. 2024 is designated the 'Year of Czech Music,' so we’ll hear works by Dvořák (including new recordings from the Fine Arts Quartet and the Prague Symphony Orchestra), Smetana (2024 is the 200th anniversary of his birth), and Vítězslava Kaprálová (her music is new to me and is captivating). 2024 is also the 100th anniversary of Puccini's death and we’ll hear a new recording of his Symphonic Suites."

"Early Morning Classics will feature birthday specials for Chopin on March 1st and Bach on March 21st. We'll also have a First Day of Spring special on March 19th."

"I'm planning on featuring Hélène de Montgeroult, starting this week. Every Thursday for the month of March, I'll be playing her music in a 15-minute set (approximately). She has a great story, but more importantly, the music is almost 40 years ahead of her time and very beautiful!"
Mark Kuss
Thursday Evening Classics
“As many know, I feature a Bach cantata each Thursday at 9:00 am. We are now in the pre-Easter season of Lent. Bach didn’t compose a lot of his ‘weekly’ sacred cantatas for Lent, so I’ll continue to feature an early Passion oratorio, the St. John Passion (BWV 245), at 9:00 am each Thursday during March. The performers include the Choir of Kings College and the Brandenburg Consort plus soloists ,all conducted by Stephen Cleobury.”

Thursday Morning Classics
"My March 6th program includes a flute sonata with questionable attribution to Beethoven. Also, offerings of the male operatic range, from countertenor to bass baritone. And what does a composer give a spouse for their Silver Wedding Anniversary (25 years)? How about slipping Mendelssohn’s Wedding March into a commissioned work intentionally premiered on their anniversary?"
Michael Salit
Tuesday Afternoon and Wednesday Morning Classics
"The overture is a lost art form in modern Broadway scores. We shall journey back to the era of the overture and relish the sounds. I will feature great classic Broadway overtures with a song or two from the shows. What's your favorite overture? Perhaps you'll hear it March 2nd on Broadway Bound at 4:00 pm."
