Thank you each and every one of you who made a Year End pledge of support in December. Whether it was your first time becoming a member, your renewal, an additional gift, or an increase in your monthly sustainer pledge, everyone here at WBJC (and every listener who benefits from your support) thanks you from the bottom of our hearts!
We are all truly fortunate to have classical music at the ready every time we tune in on the radio or internet. And that would not be possible without your generous support.
Sincerely,
Richard Miles,
WBJC General Manager

If you need paperwork for your taxes and do not have your original acknowledgement letter, please visit MyWBJC where you can generate an on-demand statement. There are instructions at the bottom of this email if you've never accessed MyWBJC. |

The wind ensemble has been, throughout my life and even before, a changing landscape in the world of classical music. It started with composer’s like Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Gordon Jacob writing some fantastic works, many of which were based on folk tunes of the UK. We also cannot forget about Percy Grainger, who wrote masterpieces like Colonial Song, Children’s March, and Lincolnshire Posy. John Philip Sousa, the American March King, also put his mark on this medium with hundreds of Marches... READ MORE HERE

MARYLAND LYRIC OPERA JAN20 & 22nd @ Strathmore
Verdi’s final masterpiece, Falstaff is more than just the composer’s successful "comic" opera, but it is also a profound meditation on humanity from an artist reflecting back on his life and career. Shakespeare’s iconic characters come to vivid life as Verdi’s sublime music reminds us that “tutto nel mondo è burla” — all the world’s a joke!
Sung in Italian, with projected English supertitles
