THANK YOU to all the listeners who participated in our Fall Member drive! Your contributions to both the “buy back” and on-air campaigns have helped secure the financial well being of the service you love.
And, making it even more exciting, you brought the drive to a close almost two hours early.
A huge thank you from all of us!

This Saturday night (10/2) at midnight, WBJC engineers will be upgrading our streaming audio service. In addition to improving the overall sound, this new system will allow us to serve for more listeners at peak streaming times during the day. If you are using a smart speaker or the pop-up player at WBJC.com to stream WBJC, you shouldn’t see any disruption in service.
If you have a web bookmark for our current MP3 stream, you will need to refresh it on Sunday morning. As always, feel free to call us during regular business hours at 410-580-5800 for assistance, and thanks for listening!

WBJC had a massively successful Fall Campaign thanks to each and every one of you who donated in the Buyback (chopping two full weekdays off the drive), matching challenges (pledging $19k to motivate other donors) and those who gave during the Drive itself. We remain humbled and grateful by your support of this station and our mission to serve you the best of classical music programming!

Getting a new car? Don’t trade-in, donate!
Before you head to the dealer, plan to donate your older vehicle to WBJC. Usually the value you'll receive for your donation will meet or exceed what the dealer will offer you as a trade-in and is fully tax-deductible. We also take boats and RVs!

I was asked to do this podcast by the Candlelight Concert Society for their upcoming concert on October 9 at the Linehan Concert Hall at UMBC in Catonsville (top of the food chain according to my colleague Mark Malinowski) featuring violinist Kristof Barati and pianist Roman Rabinovich.
And so Mes Petits Amis…What do Rodolphe Kreutzer, George Bridgetower, Beethoven, Tolstoy, Janacek and a very sharp tuning fork all have in common? The Answer is Beethoven’s amazing Kreutzer Sonata. It’s a fabulous piece and an amazing story. I thought it would be a nice way to say thank you to all the amazing WBJC listeners/members who helped us buy back these two days.
It is my delight to share it with you and I hope you enjoy the podcast, the concert on October 9 and also these two fabulous days of music you have bought back! LISTEN HERE
