door — Leonard Slatkin leads the DSO in an all-American concert on Friday's live broadcast

For five decades, Leonard Slatkin has championed the diverse music of America.

The Maestro kicks off a three-week festival with Friday's 10:40am live broadcast from Orchestra Hall on 90.5FM hosted by Dave Wagner. The series begins with a cross-country musical travelogue of sorts from Morton Gould, Joan Tower, Leonard Bernstein, and Virgil Thompson, plus Ferde Grofe’s colorful Grand Canyon Suite, and continues with film and concert music by John Williams.

Hear it all - as it happens - on 90.5 Classical and wkar.org.
