• Classical music.

  I've been a subscriber to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chicago's Lyric Opera most of my life; and an enthusiastic contributor to both (with my wife Ksenia A. and matching from her employers AT&T and Lucent in the 1990's).

  We had subscriptions to both  the Lyric Opera of Chicago  and  the Chicago Symphony  for many years. But we dropped Lyric when they succumbed to the woke politics fad just before the 2020 pandemic.

  We like to listen to WFMT on the radio.  To see their schedule go to WFMT.
  A rather interesting program is Exploring Music, weekdays at 7 PM.
  See the playlist for for this week's Exploring Music.
    - playlist for last week's
    - playlist for next week's
  Other Exploring Music playlists are available on the WFMT website.
