Greetings,
Will MP3 be posted of this broadcast of CYSO performance?
Hi Wes, the program is now online!
Thank you WFMT and the supporters of Introductions for presenting the CYSO concert today. Remarkably fine performances of very demanding works! Congratulations to the orchestra members, music director Tinkham, and all those making CYSO possible.
I have been renewing my love affair with WFMT following installing ooTunes on my iPad and hooking it up to a THK-certified speaker system.
I grew up in Chicago during the Kubelik, Reiner, and Martinon years and was lucky to get to play bass in the (then) Youth Orchestra of Greater Chicago, so you can imagine what a thrill it was today when I happened to tune in (from my home near New York City) just in time for today’s program.
I look forward to joining in CYSO’s 65th Anniversary Alumni Concert in April. Best wishes to CYSO and WFMT for the decades to come.
Hi James,
Thanks for your nice note. So glad that you rediscovered WFMT and that you will be joining the CYSO’s 65th anniversary alumni concert. I’ve passed your note on to the CYSO, as well.
You will be pleased to know that we have a higher fidelity stream for those using advanced speakers. Just make sure you click on the “AAC+” stream.
All the best,
David
