Classical Challenge
'Dr. Mike and Mark Andruss share 'The Classical Challenge' and present classical music for 2 1/2 hours every Wed. 9--1130 pm. This program concentrates on music composed in the last 100 years, with special emphasis on recently created works, as well as local performances. This is KKFI's only classical music program (although we hope for more!) so tune in to the sublime.....and enjoy.
For Wednesday, September 2, from 9:00-11:30 pm CT on KKFI 90.1FM Kansas City Community Radio, and streaming at www.kkfi.org – then archived on that site for two weeks to suit your listening schedule – The Classical Challenge presents “Anglo/American Women”.

The photos are of the composers – Arauco, Washington, Cox, Kendall, Norment, Esmail, Shaw, Kirsten, Clyne, Roberts, Tabakova, Agocs, and Andrew respectively. (Actually, Esmail was inadvertently omitted, which appears to be something Facebook will not allow one to easily fix. Google her and check Images.)
