Exploring music from different perspectives on each day of the week:
Mondays: A Year in Retrospect (music composed in a particular year) Tuesdays: Colours of the Keyboard (music of the keyboard in all its forms and combinations) Wednesdays: Rescued from the Shadows (music of composers whose music has been rediscovered in recent times) Thursdays: Romance and Romantics (love songs, love gifts and music of the Romantic period, a program of warmth and drama) Fridays: Something Borrowed (works transformed from their original through variation, transcription and arrangement)
