I’m more going for the trite, groan-inducing April Fools’ Day joke than accusing anyone of calling new music a joke, but just in case anyone had any doubt!

I had a talk with Brian Bartoldus, Artistic Director and Conductor of Handel Choir of Baltimore (full disclosure: also my conductor) about the concert on March 10th, celebrating English poetry and named for a work describing the birth of the universe through an organ’s pipes.
Many of the ensembles I write about on this series are also underwriters of WBJC, which means you get to hear about their performances on our air. You’ll be hearing about a decent few of them this month; in fact, if you get to read this on its publishing day, the first of March, you’ll […]

At least one of you has noticed that, contrary to my “mission statement” I posted when I first started working here, I haven’t gotten around to playing a lot of new music on the radio. That’s largely because I remembered that radio is a medium on which you can’t skip past what you don’t like, and […]
