A Cat, A Requiem, and new music

Dec 22, 2009 by admin

[private]Yesterday Opera Music Broadcast lost one of its favorite fans and companions, Oscar the Cat. Although he had only been a classical music fan for his 2 years, he brought much to the format – mostly purring and snuggling as we would sit at computers working away. He liked to watch the patterns on the monitor. In his honor, we will play Mozarts’ Requiem in its’ entirety at approx. 12:30 today, EST
