A Performance from Carnegie Hall... Live!
Here's a special broadcast you won't want to miss: Sir Simon Rattle conducts the Berliner Philharmoniker as it reprises Gustav Mahler's Resurrection Symphony, a piece that the Berliner Philharmoniker premiered in 1894 under the direction of Mahler himself. This concert will be broadcast live from Carnegie Hall, co-hosted by Fred Child and Jeff Spurgeon. Tune in Saturday, Feb. 25th, at 7pm.
Programming changes for this Saturday: the Butler School of Music radio program will air 1 hour early, at 6pm. (America's Music Festivals, which usually airs at 6pm, will be pre-empted that day.)
