WCPE Music Director William Woltz announces a weekend-long extravaganza celebrating Great Classical Nicknames, November 10-12, 2017. Throughout this two-day festival, WCPE will share music with alternate titles. On Saturday you may request your favorite nicknames here.
"Beethoven wasn't thinking of the moon when he wrote his famous piano sonata. A publisher dubbed it Moonlight, and the name stuck," says Woltz. "Join us for a weekend of great music with colorful names and intriguing stories: Haydn's Miracle Symphony, Tchaikovsky's Pathétique Symphony, Chopin's "Revolutionary" Etude, and much more."
