Mozart's Attic Thursday Dec 29th 10:00 PM

You already knew that Mozart was a multi-faceted talent. We pay rent on the attic this week as we look at five different aspects of Mozart's music -- from simple song to the pioneering work in the then-new piano concerto form to writing for symphonic and string ensembles to a piece originally intended for the  fashionable gizmo of the day: the mechanical clock, essentially a music box.

Then we have a nod to some musicians we lost in 2016, along with a look at some of the local classical scene.

Originally from central Massachusetts, Jay has called the Space Coast home for more than 30 years. He began his association with WFIT in the late '90s as a dumpster diver for office furniture in response to a broadcast plea for a new chair from a frustrated disc jockey. (WFIT has come a long way since.)
