This live “Slow Down, Tune In” pledge drive program will focus on music that is very slow, deliberate, intimate, and intentional. Through pieces long and short, from classic classical and classic jazz to ancient motets and modern ambience, the show will complement these slow, hot mid-summer days and will explore the time, space and feeling that slow music evokes.
