WBJC and the BALTIMORE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA invite you to win dinner, transportation and tickets to Berlioz's richly orchestrated Symphonie fantastique, Friday April 7th, at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, in Baltimore.
Violinist Ray Chen brings his extraordinary talents to the concerto by Paganini, a consummate showman whose works of astounding virtuosity and flashy style lead to rumors he had sold his soul! And if that isn’t enough, Berlioz’s richly orchestrated Symphonie fantastique conjures a tale of obsessive love leading to madness, an opium dream and a dance with the Devil. French conductor Ludovic Morlot makes a welcome return for this pyrotechnic program. BSO Late Night includes a post concert performance in the lobby of the Meyerhoff, featurning Ray Chen.

On almost any given day, if you were to stop by WBJC’s studios, you’d hear someone mention food. The staff at this radio station loves to natter on about all things culinary – favorite cookbooks, silly food trends, amazing (or dreadful) restaurants we’ve recently tried – if you can eat it or drink it, we’ve probably discussed it at work. There’s only one other non-musical topic that seems to surface as frequently as comestibles around here: cats!
As such, it was only a matter of time before my thoughts turned to the relationship between food and classical music. I was aware that various savories and sweets are named for composers and performers: Tetrazzini (turkey, chicken, or, most appealing to me, lobster,) Tournedos Rossini, Peach Melba, and Mozartkugeln, to name a few. Berlioz, Bizet, and Rossini all have egg dishes named after them, and then there are obscurities such as Caruso Sauce and Chaliapin Steak. But what foods have performers and composers truly been fond of over the years? Did any of them have eating habits we might consider odd?
