By Priya Marino ·
WVIZ released its program guide for October 31, 2026, detailing a slate of classical music broadcasts that span several hours of continuous airtime.
The schedule opens at midnight with a block of classical music hosted by Peter van de Graaff.
The first hour features works by Charles Noblet and Johann Benda, followed by the second movement of Serge Bortkiewicz's Symphony No. 2 in E-Flat.
Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre provides the final piece of that initial segment with her Clavier Suite No. 1 in d.
The programming continues with a focus on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, including several minuet and trio movements performed by Daniel Barenboim.
Robert Schumann's Piano Quartet in E-Flat is scheduled for 1:27 a.m., featuring the Emerson String Quartet members and pianist Menahem Pressler.
A transition to wind music occurs at 2:00 a.m. with Ron Nelson's Rocky Point Holiday, performed by the Indiana State University Winds.
The guide lists Vittorio Giannini's Symphony #3 for Winds and Paul Creston's A Rumor during the early morning hours.
A dedicated hour for Latin contributions to classical music begins at 6:00 a.m. under the title Concierto with Frank Dominguez.
This segment includes works by Christoph Willibald Gluck, Juan del Encina, and Tomas Luis de Victoria.
Astor Piazzolla's La muerta del angel is scheduled for 6:26 a.m., performed by guitarist Ricardo Cobo.
Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in b-flat minor follows at 7:00 a.m., with Martha Argerich on piano and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under Kirill Kondrashin's baton, though the guide lists the start time as 07:00:41, indicating a slight overlap or specific cue point from the previous track ending at 7:00:41 is actually Tchaikovsky starting at 7:00:41? No, the source says 07:00:41 Tchaikovsky. Wait, the previous track ends at 07:00:41? No, the source lists 07:00:41 Tchaikovsky. Let's look closer. 06:33:22 Mahler. Then 07:00:41 Tchaikovsky. This implies a gap or the Mahler track runs long. I will state the start time as listed.
