Classical Excursions

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):

Greg LaTraille

Tue, 08/18/2020 - 3:10pm | Gary Chew

KDRT-fb-3rd-Cluade-081820.jpg

Mid August always brings the date when Claude Debussy was born. As we're at 2020, that happened 158 years ago. Great Impressionistic music by this Frenchman has made a non-stop impact on classical music and jazz. Debussy's harmonies are heard often in those genres and sometimes in film scores as well.

Other composers on the list this week are Andre Previn, Eddie Sauter, Lowell Libermann, Dmitri Shostakovich, John Coltrane, Lennon and McCartney, and from two local musicians, Melissa Collard and Jacám Manricks. 3rd Streaming airs Tuesdays 1-3 PM and Thursdays 9:30-11:30 PM. Stream at kdrt.org

COVID-19 Community Report Episode 32: Da Vinci Junior High Teacher Leonie Pickett Speaks about Zoom Classrooms - Aug 18th, 2020

Tue, 08/18/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

COVID-19-guest-Da-Vinci-Jr-High-teacher.jpg

This week we speak with Leonie Pickett, who teaches History, English, Geography and Leadership to 7th, 8th and 9th graders at Da Vinci Junior High in Davis. A parent of teens as well, she walks us through what the start of this most unusual school year looks like for her. We hear about how teachers spent their summers preparing for teaching on Zoom again, how to best engage students, concerns about social development, and other pros and cons with this current mode of reaching students and parents.

Last week, I did an informal poll on Facebook, asking listeners who they'd like me to interview. I received an incredible number of responses, and one thing that emerged was the desire to hear more from everyday people: teachers, kids, parents, business owners. I will continue interviewing leaders from our local institiutions and organizations, because I believe that's still important, but I've committed to bringing forth some of these other voices, as well.
