During the course of the coming season, designated performances will be taped live for subsequent broadcast Classical WETA, and WETA’s talented on-air hosts will be on-hand to introduce those performances and several Levine master classes.

Classical WETA is a passionate advocate for the advancement of community-based music education, and we, together, urge you to join us live and on-air for Levine Presents and to follow WETA’s schedule of outstanding musical offerings.

American music encompasses a wealth of traditions and influences and has provided inspiration to a number of European composers who visited our shores (Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Dvorak, and Bartok); just as American composers (such as George Gershwin and even Duke Ellington) were influenced by the earlier European romantics (Liszt and Chopin).

American music embraces a broad spectrum of influences and the music that isuniquely American is as fresh and original now as it was at its birth. This year Levine Presents The Music of America in all its richness.

This lecture recital presented by Levine faculty-artist AlexPeh explores the epic song cycle, Winterreise D. 911, as reimagined by Franz Liszt.

During the course of the coming season, designated performances will be taped live for subsequent broadcast Classical WETA, and WETA’s talented on-air hosts will be on-hand to introduce those performances and several Levine master classes.

Classical WETA is a passionate advocate for the advancement of community-based music education, and we, together, urge you to join us live and on-air for Levine Presents and to follow WETA’s schedule of outstanding musical offerings.

American music encompasses a wealth of traditions and influences and has provided inspiration to a number of European composers who visited our shores (Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Dvorak, and Bartok); just as American composers (such as George Gershwin and even Duke Ellington) were influenced by the earlier European romantics (Liszt and Chopin).

American music embraces a broad spectrum of influences and the music that isuniquely American is as fresh and original now as it was at its birth. This year Levine Presents The Music of America in all its richness.
