In December, 2020 the world marks the 250th birth anniversary of one of our greatest composers. So, to celebrate Ludwig Von Beethoven’s upcoming semiquincentennial, WSKG Classical broadcasts three chamber music recitals on Saturday mornings this December.
The recitals feature music composed by Beethoven and are part of the Phelps Mansion Museum Chamber Series and the Binghamton Philharmonic Orchestra’s Beethoven Project.
Besides their Saturday morning broadcasts, these recitals will be available on this website, and by asking for “By Special Invitation” on the WSKG Alexa Skill.
