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.

cover.jpg

After a week with a lot of great music to be heard out and about locally, join In the Key of Folk, coming up, for an hour of musical reflections. We start off with a couple of tracks from the newly released album by Countercurrent, a duo from the Pacific Northwest. We'll also be covering new releases by hometown favorite Kora Feder, and by New Englanders Jean Rohe and Sean Kiely. We'll include tracks by Kalos, Paddy on the Binge, Mad Agnes, Evie Ladin, Tom Jutz and Eric Brace. Some of these singer-songwriters and musicians may not be that familiar to you -- give it a listen and enjoy! That's this afternoon, Wednesday, at 2 p.m. on KDRT.org!

Davisville, March 17, 2025: Clean, cheaper than PG&E, resilient -- microgrid proposes big change in energy for new parts of Davis

Mon, 03/17/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

The sun.jpeg

Advances in technology, say today’s guests on Davisville, make it possible to create a community microgrid in new parts of Davis that would deliver clean, resilient, solar-powered energy to its customers for less than Pacific Gas & Electric charges. To accomplish this, Davis would need to form a municipal utility, and a developer building on vacant land would need to sign on. If the community microgrid succeeds, the model could be repeated throughout the state.

Ari Halberstadt and Lorenzo Kristov, who have been working on the project, explain how it all would come together, including why the microgrid would have to serve new customers who aren't already served by PG&E.

Rainbow City Park, in the studio on Listening Lyrics, March 14, 2025

Fri, 03/14/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

IMG_3914.jpeg

Well, that was a first! In 13 years of hosting Listening Lyrics, I have never—never—forgotten that I had a guest band scheduled. My plan was set, a themed show ready to roll… until I played my first scheduled set. And just like that, everything changed.

Enter Rainbow City Park.

This insanely talented indie-rock/dream pop band from Northern California took the studio by storm. Their sound is a beautiful collision of '90s alt-rock nostalgia and modern indie influences like Phoebe Bridgers, Diiv, and Pinegrove. Hailing from Sacramento, Davis, and San Francisco, they bring a raw, emotional depth to their music that’s impossible to ignore.

Mardi Gras (plus 3)! The Audio Ecotone for March 7, 2025

Fri, 03/07/2025 - 12:17am | Eddy Owt

PurpleFaceMardiGras2009.jpg

Laissez les bon temps rouler ... un peu tard! New Orleans's biggest holiday Mardi Gras happened this past Tuesday. And although we are supposed to be in the devotional abstinence of Lent, we're not observant and besides, our Mardi Gras celebration was pre-empted by our interview with Nicole Laurenne (which you should check out if you haven't already). Therefore on this week's Audio Ecotone, we're going to have a "Vendredi Gras" celebration of the music of NOLA, with selections from the Rebirth Brass Band, Irma Thomas, James Booker, Amanda Shaw, Better Than Ezra and a whole, whole lot more. So grab some boudin and beignets and tune in live on Friday at 3:00 pm Pacific Time on KDRT 95.7 in Davis or kdrt.org online. The show replays on Saturday at 6:00 pm and Tuesday at 7:00 am and will be available online for two weeks after broadcast on The Audio Ecotone program page.
