A Tempo Saturday (7/5 at 7 pm) features a conversation with a Harmony123, an organization of young musicians who perform and raise funds for worthy causes - most recently, the Trenton-based, arts-centric Sprout U School of the Arts.

We’re returning to La Scala for this week’s Sunday Opera (7/6 3:00 p.m.) and Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene Onegin.” The libretto, based on a verse-novel by Alexander Pushkin about a jaded, cynical, and selfish Onegin whose actions disrupt the lives of just about everyone around him.

If you hadn’t noticed, July just happened recently. To welcome it on this week’s Dress Circle (7/6 7:00 p.m.), we’re looking at some of the musicals that have opened in New York this month. We don’t have an exhaustive list, but we were still able to amass a baker’s dozen of songs that span 157 years of musical history.

Piano music and period instruments this Friday (6/27, rebroadcast Saturday 6/28)

A Tempo this Saturday (6/28 at 7 pm) explores The Library for the Performing Arts, part of the New York Public Library system, which is marking its 60th anniversary this year.

It might be difficult for you to get to Milan right now, but this week’s Sunday Opera (6-29 3:00 p.m.) is going to be going there for the beginning of a series of operas from La Scala. We’re beginning with Giuseppe Verdi’s “La forza del destino” (“The Force of Destiny”) in a production starring Anna Netrebko, Ludovic Tezier, and Brian Jagde.

We’re going where the “neon lights are bright” and “there’s magic in the air” on this week’s Dress Circle (6/29 7:00 p.m.) as we look at songs about Broadway from stage and screen. Even though a great deal of music has been written about being on the stage and theatres, we decided to limit it to only those songs that expressly mention “Broadway” in their titles.

Rare piano recordings this Friday (6/20, rebroadcast Saturday 6/21)

Umberto Giordano wrote 18 operas in all, but only two of them are produced with any regularity: “Fedora” and “Andrea Chenier.” On this week’s Sunday Opera (6/22 3:00 p.m.), we’ll be looking at two of his other operas that, although not unknown, aren’t produced nearly as often, and this came about after a conversation with one of our long-time listeners in Bethlehem, PA. Those operas are “La cena delle beffe” (“The Jester’s Supper”) and “Madame Sans-Gene. (“Madame Carefree”).

We’re celebrating the career of composer/lyricist William Finn, whom we lost in April, on this week’s Dress Circle (6/22 7:00 p.m.) with thirteen songs from a variety of his often autobiographical musicals.
