Good morning and welcome to Classical Discoveries!! Today we are listening to music by Estonian composer Arvo Part in observance of his 90th birthday which is tomorrow! We will be listening today to a wide variety of his music!
Patrick White 7:38:18 AM
Greetings and good morning to Marvin and his listeners. Happy Birthday to ARVO PART.

Good morning Marvin and Patrick and happy birthday Arvo Pärt
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:47:50 AM
@Marvin, this might amuse you: WMUC-FM, the University of Maryland College Park student radio station, has a classical music show this semester. I listened to part of it on their hard to find archived-for-a-week page and the dj said indicated that it is the only student-generated classical music show in the DC area.
Dale Hazelton 7:48:00 AM
this is a beautiful piece. good morning.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:48:17 AM
It runs from 8 am to 10 am on Wednesday mornings. Clearly Wednesday morning is the time for classical music on university radio stations
Marvin Rosen (host) 7:56:36 AM
Very interesting, Rob! I will check it out!!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 8:22:55 AM
"The DMV's only FM college classical show!" The show is called The Avenue but the dj usually doesn't put up playlists and right now I'm hearing jazz singing. But anyhoo https://spinitron.com/WMUC/ and https://wmuc.umd.edu/
Rob from Maryland 🦀 8:24:53 AM
But wait, it's not streaming from the wmuc.umd page but it is coming over my car radio and my Apple Music player. So, I dunno, be happy knowing that there is a student dj playing classical music from time to time in the DC area?
Rob from Maryland 🦀 8:26:09 AM
We now return to our Arvo Pärt show
Marvin Rosen (host) 8:31:59 AM
Rob, does he play Classical Music on his entire show or just Paert of it?
Rob from Maryland 🦀 8:37:30 AM
Marvin, hee hee :-)
Bob McCauley 8:41:13 AM
Good Morning Marvin, Love this tribute show.
Bob McCauley 8:41:46 AM
For some reason, the playlist isn't updating? Problems?
Dale Hazelton 8:45:53 AM
