Winter Orgy® Period 2012

The Winter Orgy Period on WHRB has begun. We've already missed the Hans Rosbaud Orgy on December 1, the Warhorse Orgy on December 2, and the Midori Orgy yesterday. As I write this, the Hummel Orgy is underway, and will continue through Friday, December 7. You can listen to the webstream at www.whrb.org and you can access the current program guide for specific times of the orgies at http://www.whrb.org/programs/current.pdf

In general,  it seems that this time they are giving the classical orgies on afternoons and evenings with other types of music overnight and into the morning. There are also interruptions for Harvard hockey and basketball games. That's why you'll want to check out the program guide.

But here's a list of the classical orgies with their starting and ending dates:

• Johan Nepomuk Hummel     December 4-7
• Claude Debussy     December 9-12
• Alfred Cortot     December 13-17
• Rodion Shchedrin     December 16
• Krzysztof Penderecki     December 18-19
• Jean Françaix     December 20
• Moriz Rosenthal     December 20

Enjoy!
