and the number one Classical dad is...

No doubt any of these composers/performers cds, dvds, or blue-rays might make a great gift for dad too! How about taking Dad to a concert?

Hi Dad!

With Father's Day this Sunday, we've been celebrating with some classical music: Monday we played Debussy's Children's Corner, a work written for his daughter Chou Chou to enjoy.
Yesterday we had a Vivaldi Concerto with Celedonio Romero and John Corigliano, Sr - father of composer John Corigliano.
This afternoon we'll have Leopold Mozart's Horn Concerto, his son Wolfgang's Piano Concerto #14, and his son Franz Xavier's Rondo for flute!
Check out what else we're playing on KPAC here.

So, what kind of music do you like listening to with your dad? Any fond musical memories you want to share?
