The heat and humidity are turned up just a little bit today in New York. Go ahead -- turn up WQXR today, too; we have music thats worth hearing. This morning, its Berliozs Benvenuto Cellini overture, aaron Coplands Hoedown, the Meditation from Thais, Mendelssohns Reformation symphony, Borodins Polovetsian Dances from Prince Igor, and Jeremy Denk with your morning Bach. Gil Shaham plays some Kreisler this morning, too -- and he plays Benjamin Brittens violin concerto tonight in a concert by the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America. This band of 16-19-year-olds from across the country makes its Carnegie Hall debut , and well broadcast it live starting at 8 P.M. Hope youll join us to listen along. All this music and more is yours to enjoy at 105.9 FM, WQXR.org, and on your phone with our free app.
