Playlist for Wednesday, May 14
With the semifinal numbers from the spring drive tallied up, lo and behold, we did reach our member goal on the last day! It's fantastic to know you're out there and you came through. Our strength is in numbers. Thank you, o lovers of GPB.
The average donation was a little bit lower than projected, however, so please don't let that last-minute stampede stop you from contributing a bit more. All memberships through this week will still count toward the grand total. Call 800-222-4788 or go to gpb.org. Gracias, danke, merci, grazie!
Today's Midday Music features pianist Yefim Bronfman in chamber music of Schubert and Reinecke. (If you think he only plays that well on disc, join us as Yefim Bronfman makes highly musical mincemeat of Prokofiev's Second Piano Concerto in concert with the Atlanta Symphony; Robert Spano conducts Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, too, when The ASO on GPB next airs, May 15 at 8 p.m. and May 18 at 10 p.m.)
