New York, NY (Top40 Charts) WCPE
Music Director William Woltz announces a weekend-long extravaganza celebrating Great Classical
Music in the cinema, March 17 through 19, 2017. Throughout this festival, WCPE will share music from films ranging from timeless to obscure. There's newer music, written especially for the movies, and old masterpieces that make the movie. On Saturday you may request your favorite cinema classic here.
