Born on October 3, 1882, Karol Maciej Szymanowski would, as a talented composer, pianist and writer, emerge as a member of the modernist Young Poland movement that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th century—and go on to become one of the leading voices in Polish music of his time. Tuesday afternoon's Classical Music Music with Foley Schuler will offer a belated birthday celebration in the form of several of the Polish master's finest works, including his choral masterpiece, the Stabat Mater, as well as a selection of his music for solo piano.
You can hear Foley Schuler musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 until 4 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
