CLASSICAL SNACK, OPUS 2312The First Year in Review

Classical Snack | The First Year in Review

It’s a celebration – our twelfth monthly installment of Classical Snack! Whether it’s your first time reading or your twelfth, we’re glad you’re here! The goal of Classical Snack is simple – to offer tidbits of information about classical music that might enhance your WNED Classical listening experience. That’s it!

Today, we’re reviewing the first year of Classical Snack. We’re also asking you to help us plan next year. Is there a classical music topic you’d like to read about in a future Classical Snack? Maybe you’d like to learn more about a certain composer, or performer.  Maybe there’s an instrument, term, form, or style you’d like to read about. Whatever comes to mind, please send it to us and we’ll write about it in 2024! Send your ideas to: mwimmer@wned.org.

Here are links to 2023’s installments. Enjoy!
