Second Inversion 

Strange Dreams 

Saturday, October 11 | 9pm 

Host: Maggie Molloy 

Artists have long found inspiration in the subconscious, composers do the same thing sometimes…  This Saturday on Second Inversion: Strange Dreams. One composer finds music in the snores of his sleeping wife—another explores how our evening TV viewing seeps into our subconscious. We’ll hear from a composer who imagines herself in the dreaming mind of her pet turtle. Plus, the whimsical story of a dream collector, who runs around picking up everyone’s dreams at the end of the night. 

 

The Score with Edmund Stone 

Deal with the Devil 

Saturday, October 11 | 4pm 

They say everyone has their price and in this Saturday’s Score episode Edmund Stone gives us a glimpse of what it costs to Deal with the Devil. From The Phantom of the Opera to The House of Usher and The Witches of Eastwick, it’s music and movies about characters that have driven a bargain with the devil. It just might make your moral compass spin.     

 

TBA! 

Sunday, October 12 | 4pm 

Join Edmund Stone for a new adventure of movie-music fun! This Sunday on Classical KING!
