Tune in to Classical Music with Foley Schuler Friday afternoon as we celebrate the birthday of reknowned soprano Kiri te Kanewa with her performance of the exquisite Songs of the Auvergne by Joseph Canteloube—and we'll remember both composer and donductor John Philip Sousa and Hungarian composer, ethnomusicologist and educator Zoltán Kodály, who both passed away on March 6 (in 1932 and 1967 respectively) with one of the extended works of Sousa of which the composer was most proud, The Last Days of Pompeii, and Kodály's moving choral masterpiece, his Missa Brevis.
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 until 4 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
