Dear Friend of WBJC
It’s the gift of wonderful classical music that you can hear every day of the year at the touch of a radio button or mouse. Music that transcends place and time. Music that is getting harder and harder to find around the United States. Now is a great time to make a year-end gift to WBJC.
Yes, there are other sources of classical music on the radio and Internet. But many of these are just individual snippets of music, incomplete symphonies, or programmed together by computer algorithms. On WBJC, you hear complete works programmed for you by Mark Malinowski, Dyana Neal, Judith Krummeck, Reed Hessler, Kati Harrison, and Jonathan Palevsky. This is programming that brings out the subtly of the music by the juxtaposition of different works, genres, composers and performers. No computer can do that, or give you small tidbits of information that come from years of experience.
As I’m sure you know, this service is quite costly to bring you. But we know that you, as a listener, value it. As other classical public radio stations around the country go off the air, eliminate their local announcers, or do away with classical music completely, WBJC has committed itself to bringing you the music you want to hear. But that commitment truly depends on you.
Your year-end, tax-deductible gift today of $360, $240, $120, $50, or whatever is significant to you, will ensure that we maintain the musical standards that you have come to expect from WBJC. Please click here to donate now, or call us at 410-580-5800.
Sincerely,
|

Joseph M. Hutchins
General Manager
PS. Any donation sent by December 31 will be deductible for 2016. Please give today.

HALLELUJAH! THE BSO IS RECORDING MESSIAH!
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Concert Artists of Baltimore Symphonic Chorale are presenting their annual performances of Handel’s
Messiah
December 2-4, with concerts at both the Meyerhoff and Strathmore. Maestro Edward Polochick has conducted
Messiah
with the BSO since 1982, and I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of singing it with him many times since the late 1990’s. Recently, we got together to chat about his interpretation of the piece, finding clues to what Handel wanted in a “skeletal” score composed in just under three weeks, and great news regarding a collaboration with Naxos Records.
