Wavelengths presents four compositions by three composers this Sunday evening.
Chris Brubeck Danza del Soul
Chris Brubeck is the son of Dave Brubeck (who is still writing and performing jazz and classical music), which shows through in the first movement – a fusion of classical and jazz idioms. The slower second movement gives us the sounds of blues before launching into the third movement, a jubilant celebration of life.

Mozart Madness
January 25–27Born Johann Chrysostom Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on January 27, 1756, he alternately called himself Wolfgang Amadé or Wolfgang Gottlieb. Of the seven children to whom his mother gave birth, Mozart and his beloved sister, Anna Maria, were the only two that survived. That Wolfgang was a genius in the creation of western Classical music is beyond dispute. For three days, you’ll hear music from the pen of this musical virtuoso. You can request your favorite composition by Mozart on All Request Friday (January 27) or on the Saturday Evening Request Program (January 28).
This year WCPE enters its 34th year in broadcasting- that's something special for any public radio station, especially a classical music station!
