Classical Excursions

Greg LaTraille

Classical radio programs often focus on well-known light classics and ignore challenging and imaginative masterworks, especially from the rich repertoire of 20th century music, which is very diverse. This results in listeners who are unaware of many wonderful works. Excursions will present short and longer works by famous as well as less known composers, with insightful commentary by a composer with years of experience in radio, classical marketing, and music education.

Live on the first, third and occasional fifth Friday of the month.  

Live Friday 11am-1pm
Replays Sunday 9-11am
DJ(s):

Rooted in the country, gospel, and folk traditions of Kentucky and Tennessee, Nancy’s music reaches deep—touching the soul with tales of love, hope, despair, and rebirth. Whether she’s singing of love lost or the strength of the human spirit, Nancy does it all with passion and heart.

On this afternoon's In the Key of Folk, we'll play a couple of tracks from the new album by banjoists extraordinaire, Alison Brown and Steve Martin, along with several other nice new releases. Then we'll walk down a dark twisty trail to visit with some rather sinister songs of long ago, all in honor of this Friday. Traditional, but not always so sweet. Enjoy, my little dearies!
