Things got pretty intense onstage during last week’s John Williams Concert at Wolf Trap, but despite the 104 degree temperature, the force was still with violin soloist Alexandra Osborne! Looks like she might want to get the batteries checked on her light saber, though…
Radio Heads
Nothing beats hearing the Philharmonic live, especially on The Great Lawn in Central Park, but if today’s heat wave is keeping you indoors you can enjoy the next best thing: last Friday’s concert, with Alan Gilbert conducting works by Tchaikovsky and Respighi, broadcast on Classical 105.9 FM WQXR, the radio station of the New York Philharmonic.
Tune in at 8:00 p.m. tonight and relive a night of beautiful music, hosted by Naomi Lewin and Elliott Forrest (right), as well as interviews with Philharmonic Concertmaster Glenn Dicterow (left), Associate Principal Trumpet Matthew Muckey, and Music Director Alan Gilbert.
Sounds good to us!
