To celebrate the first day of Summer today, we’re doing our Midday Masterpiece a little differently. Instead of one long piece at 2pm, from 2 to 4 pm we’re featuring various “Summer” themed music starting with Vivaldi’s “Summer” from “The Four Seasons” at 2, and at 3, Czech composer Josef Suk’s nearly hour-long tone poem “A Summer’s Tale,” and more. Listen from 2 to 4pm today to welcome the arrival of summer!
