Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for our listeners. We are also thankful music brings us together as a family of music lovers, from the great composers of the past & present, the performers who share their talents, and the listeners who support one of the greatest art forms.

And I can tell you for certain—Clara Schumann did not cook!

🦃 Great accompaniment as you bake, cook, travel, volunteer, socialize, and/or relax on this #Thanksgiving Day: musical selections from WETA Classical, including the listener-selected #ClassicalCountdown. 🎶 Tune in or stream: weta.org/fm

Happy Thanksgiving to all classical music lovers! I wish every day ⁦WETA Classical⁩ would host a countdown to delight us w/a collection of wonderful pieces, excluding #VivaldiFourSeasons of course. Looking forward to the #1. Hope is #Beethoven9th otherwise hell to pay! 😉

So far, so good. #VivaldiFourSeasons has been dethroned and relegated to #9! I want to thank all the connoisseurs who step up to save WETA Classical from ever lasting shame. The momentum is leading to a glorious culmination! Rachmaninoff followed by Gershwin are the right steps.
