BBC Proms

It’s wild. It’s raucous. It’s Classical Music? It is when it’s the Last Night of the Proms – and it's coming to WDAV LIVE from London’s Royal Albert Hall on Saturday, September 9th at 2:30 pm. The Proms is one of the most venerated music festivals in the world – and WDAV will also be airing highlights from this summer’s concerts each weeknight at 9:00 pm from September 4th through September 8th. Find out more at the BBC Proms Page.

WDAV on the Internet – Getting All Blogged Down!

When you tune in to WDAV we know you’re there for the music – but often there’s so much more we’d like to say about the music we play on the air. The beauty of the Internet is now we can do both. We've started a WDAV blog called Classical Musings, a place to share interesting thoughts and facts that are just too long-winded for on-air. Midday host Jennifer Foster is helping to get the blog rolling – this isn’t a one-sided conversation. You can add your own comments to Jennifer's. So what are you waiting for? Click here to go to the Classical Musings Blog and get in on the conversation.

World Choral Spectacular

In 2005, 24 phenomenal choirs gathered in Kyoto Japan for 8 days of truly amazing performances, the variety and diversity of which will surprise and delight listeners. WDAV will air four one-hour “best of the best” specials featuring these breathtaking concerts. World Choral Spectacular will air Sundays at 7:00 p.m, during the month of September.

Charlotte Symphony Season Preview

Join host Jennifer Foster on Wednesday, September 13th at 10:00 am for a special 2 hour preview of the Charlotte Symphony’s 2006-2007 season. This is the CSO’s 75th anniversary season and, to commemorate that achievement, six of the orchestra’s past music directors will share the concert stage for a special Return of the Maestro’s event in November. WDAV previews the music, the people and the events that promise to make this a special season.

Looking for a Few Good Folks

WDAV's Membership Campaign is coming up September 22 through 29, and we're looking for a few more volunteers to come in and answer phones. The need is greatest in the afternoons and evenings. Volunteering during the campaigns is a great way to meet other classical music fans and get to know the WDAV staff. Plus, we'll feed you if you're here around mealtimes. You can't beat that with a baton! To sign up, call Kim Cline at 704-894-2977, or email wdavvolunteering@davidson.edu.
