Mozart's Attic - Thursday, Dec 3rd 10:00 pm

Kronus Quartet
NPR
Kronus Quartet

There are many ways to describe the Kronos Quartet: unconventional, eclectic, fearless.

We'll begin with a set from Kronos showcasing music from parts of the world that we don't usually associate with classical music.

Then it's Handel, Mozart, and Hugo Wolf, and we'll devote the final hour to Olivier Messaien's monumental La Nativite du Seigneur, written in 1935 and regarded as one of the great masterpieces of modern music for organ.

10:00 pm Thursday night on 89.5 FM and streaming live at WFIT.org.

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.)
