Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin
Mozart at His Zenith
Beginning in 1786 at the first hearing of "The Marriage of Figaro," we’ll explore the stream of masterpieces, including operas, symphonies, piano concertos, and chamber works that Mozart wrote in the last five years of his life. He was in his early thirties, navigating the political life of a court composer in Vienna, while partying with the passion of a young man. On December 5, 1791, Mozart died, leaving his Requiem Mass unfinished. From these years alone, Mozart left a body of work that expresses a universe of imagination and emotions.

Best of Studs Terkel
It's Like A Dream To Me (1/15/1970)
Studs Terkel's 1970 birthday tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968). Containing music, voices of citizens, and Studs Terkel’s own interview with the civil rights leader, this mosaic hour portrays a snapshot of an important historical moment in our nation’s story. Please be advised this historical program includes some strong language of an offensive nature which conveys the harsh reality of the time and place.
