Tune in Sunday June 25th and/or Wednesday June 28th, 10:00 a.m. to noon, for “Richard Strauss: Heroes Real and Surreal.” Strauss, whose long career spanned one of the most chaotic periods in the history of the world, “retained his romantic aesthetic into the age of television, jet engines, and atom bombs.” Two works deal with the concept of the hero in very different ways. “Ein Heldenleben,” or A Hero’s Life, and “Don Quixote,” were, amazingly, both written in 1898.

17/06/2023

Join host Karen Kaderavek, Sunday June 18th and/or Wednesday June 21st from 10:00 a.m. to noon for a special show: not only Father’s Day, but also the Summer Solstice. To celebrate both occasions, I will play music that reflects a father’s influence on musical creativity, and in the second hour, music inspired by nature, and forests, teeming with life. 99.1 FM, or “Listen Live” anywhere. https://www.cidi991.com/

We will hear perennial favorites as well some lesser-known gems from Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. 99.1 FM or "Listen Live" https://www.cidi991.com/

03/06/2023

Join host Karen Kaderavek, Sunday June 4th and/or Wednesday June 7th, 10:00 a.m. to noon, for an ardent and colorful program, “Classically Latin.” Latin American music can be traced to the Spanish and Portuguese conquest of the Americas in the 16th century, when European colonial settlers combined their music with the traditional, or classical, music of non-European countries, resulting in their infectious, ever-popular grooves! 99.1 FM or “Listen Live” https://www.cidi991.com/

27/05/2023

Join host Karen Kaderavek, Sunday May 28th and/or Wednesday May 31st, 10:00 am to noon, for “Music of the Cosmos.” In the first hour we hear captivating Renaissance music, “The Secrets of the Heavens." In the second hour, the much-loved orchestral suite, “The Planets,” by Gustav Holst. Separated by 400 years, both works invoke the heavenly bodies, which since ancient times have been associated with human as well as spiritual qualities.

He also wrote hundreds of popular songs, such as I Got Rhythm, Swanee and the hit song, Summertime, from his opera, Porgy and Bess. 99.1 FM or "Listen live," https://www.cidi991.com/

13/05/2023

Join host Karen Kaderavek, Sunday May 14th and/or Wednesday May 17th for a Mother’s Day program, featuring a genre that may seem contrary to the mood of Mother’s Day: The Requiem! Since Mozart in the 18th century, the Requiem has migrated from church to center stage, offering some of the most uplifting and exquisite music for orchestra, chorus and soloists that one will hear, those by Johannes Brahms and Rebecca Dale. 99.1 FM or https://www.cidi991.com/

06/05/2023

Join host Karen Kaderavek, Sunday May 7th and/or Wednesday May 10th, 10:00 a.m. to noon, for “Rejuvenation and Adaptation,” music that is uplifting and makes you feel as though your heart, mind and soul have been “rejuvenated.” Sometimes this is done through “adaptation:” rearranging a pre-existing composition for a different instrument, giving it a whole new life of expressive possibilities.

05/05/2023

Join host Karen Kaderavek Sunday April 23rd and/or Wednesday April 26th, 10:00 a.m. to noon, for “Music, Identity and Place,” an exploration of how musical associations are made with cultures and identities. How does it work, especially in instrumental music devoid of text, whose elements – notes or tones, rhythm, and instrumental color – are relatively abstract? Tune in to find out how real and imagined places are projected through musical sound. 99.1 FM or “Listen Live” https://www.cidi991.com/

15/04/2023

Join host Karen Kaderavek Sunday April 16th and/or Wednesday April 19th, 10:00 a.m. to noon, for “Beloved Concertos.” One of the most compelling, versatile and popular of all musical forms, a concerto is an instrumental composition for one or more soloists accompanied by an orchestra that originated in 16th century Italy, and quickly spread across Europe, in constant use to this day! Tune in to 99.1 FM or “Listen Live” https://www.cidi991.com/

09/04/2023

Happy Easter, everyone! Join me from 10:00 am to noon, April 9th and/or Wednesday April 12th, for an inspired musical experience. Of all the musical depictions of Christ’s death and resurrection, none are more notable than Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and St. John Passion, musically theatrical settings of the New Testament story. This year we will hear Bach’s St. John Passion, one of the most beloved and important works in all the choral-orchestral repertoire. https://cidi991.com/

On Sunday March 12th and Wednesday March 13th, 10:00 a.m. to noon, I will repeat the program I offered a year ago in support for, and solidarity with, the people of Ukraine: “Ode to Ukraine.” Tragically, the conflict still rages, and I wish I had another perspective to celebrate. Be that as it may, I hope this program provides insight into the rich history of music in Ukraine, and the courage, nobility and creativity of its composers and performers. https://www.cidi991.com/

04/03/2023

Please join host Karen Kaderavek, Sunday March 5th and/or Wednesday March 8th, 10:00 a.m. to noon, for the “Titans of Vienna.” Vienna, the capital city of Austria, was home to many of the great composers from the late 18th to early 19th centuries – namely Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert – whose music, often called “Viennese Classicism,” is what we will hear today.

Please join host Karen Kaderavek, February 12th and/or Wednesday February 15th, 10:00 to noon, for a musical “Valentine’s Day Romance.” Traditionally, on Saint Valentine’s Day, lovers express their affection with cards, chocolates, red roses and other gifts. Indeed, today’s music is inspired by romantic love, but also many other forms of love.

Join host Karen Kaderavek Sunday January 8th and/or Wednesday January 11th 10:00 a.m. to noon, for a “January Jamboree.” The Holidays are over, which for some, leads to feelings of let-down; our days are dark and short, and we face several months of winter that lie ahead. So, I thought a pot pourri of buoyant, vibrant and varied music from overtures to encores, would be just the thing to lift our spirits! 99.1 FM or listen live anywhere! https://www.cidi991.com/
