      With communications and travel offering cultural exchange like never before, today’s composer draws from an enormous palette, giving voice to the amazing era in which we live. You'll find tonality and melody are most decidedly in style, while originality and diversity reign. From Joseph Schwantner and John Adams to Marc Neikrug and Amy Beach, we'll listen to and celebrate their music.

      Best of Studs Terkel

      Big Bill Broonzy and Pete Seeger (c. 1952)

      On a cold morning in 1952, Studs Terkel introduced two musicians he admired both personally and professionally: the legendary blues artist Big Bill Bronzy and folk singer Pete Seeger. This historic broadcast is one of the earliest surviving programs Studs made for WFMT; his then-weekly program, the Almanac, was heard live on Sunday mornings.
