Today marks the beginning of our play on opposites: yin & yang. We will listen to fantastic #ClassicalMusic of opposing natures: calm against agitated, beautiful against furious. Opposites, it seems, may contain the whole. 😉☯️ #opposites #wfmt #Radio

[Exploring Music @exploringmusic]

This week, dive into the world of lesser-known #Scandinavian composers like Wilhelm Stenhammar, Per Nørgård, and Lars-Erik Larsson, all performed by Scandinavian artists of today! Sit back and enjoy the show #classicalmusic #wfmt

Find the full name (first & last) of a legendary singer who performed at Carnegie Hall multiple times. The name can be found by connecting adjacent letters in any direction, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. No letter is used more than once 🧐

[Exploring Music @exploringmusic]

For example, starting from the F in the top row, the word FOAL can be formed by moving to the left, then down, then diagonally down to the left.
