Two orchestral concerts break up the summer doldrums this Saturday: the Atlanta Symphony performs Holst's Planets (with NASA photos!) and the Rome Symphony offers "Cool Pops."
Now, as for today . . . let's try something new. Instead of providing cover art from discs aired, I'll link you to details directly from the playlist below. Which do you prefer: links from thumbnail art or from text? Write middaymusic@gpb.org to opine. Thanks.
Please keep in mind that although these links connect you to ArkivMusic or Amazon for the convenient information there, we officially endorse PB-1 as our public-radio-friendly vendor and encourage you to buy through them.
