This month’s CLASSICAL VIBES is weaving a few threads together rather than a single theme. We are going to be focusing on the VOICE with a lovely selection of choral music, and we are also celebrating Black History month with a selection of music by black composers or performers. And then a few other pieces that seemed to fit perfectly in the gaps.
