Encore Classical Music on Shortwave this coming Friday - Saturday - Sunday

This coming weekend Encore - Classical Music on Radio Tumbril will broadcasting on a third frequency again.
WWCR in Tennessee are transmitting the show at 01:00 UTC Sunday 1st December (Saturday evening 30th November local in US) on 6115 kHz.
Encore - Classical Music this weekend is - of course - being broadcast as usual by Channel 292 (Europe) on 6070 kHz at 15:00 UTC Sunday 1st December.
And by WBCQ on 7490 kHz at 01:00 UTC Monday 2nd December.

There is a repeat on 6070 kHz on Friday 6th December at 19:00 UTC.

Do let us know how well you can pick up Encore at your location by emailing to encoretumbril@gmail.com. We try to reply to all emails and will send eQSL cards for full reports.

This week's programme starts with the Much Ado about Nothing suite by Erich Korngold - with a madrigal by Bonnie Miksch performed by the excellent choral ensemble Siglo di Oro sandwiched in between. After that we have two versions of a movement from Arcadiana by Thomas Ades - one instrumental and the other choral - for comparison. Some electronic music from 1980s to follow then a couple of pieces by Rameau and finally a Beethoven piano sonata.

Both Channel 292 and WBCQ as well as WWCR can be pulled live off the internet if the reception is poor in your location. Easy to find their sites with a google search.

Thank you for spreading the word about Encore - Classical Music on Shortwave. And thank you to everyone for letting us know how well the signal is received where you live.
