Mozart's Attic - Thursday, April 14th 10:00 pm

Mozart was a prolific composer of piano concerti, and we'll look at a few of these over the next several weeks, beginning with Number 20, the product of a burst of activity in the mid 1780s when he was writing music for his own performance purposes.

We'll follow Mozart with a realization of some dance music from the French Renaissance, and then a performance of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony using instruments and orchestral forces appropriate to Beethoven's day.

Originally from central Massachusetts, Jay has called the Space Coast home for more than 30 years. He began his association with WFIT in the late '90s as a dumpster diver for office furniture in response to a broadcast plea for a new chair from a frustrated disc jockey. (WFIT has come a long way since.)
