Fridays at 8:05 p.m. until 10pm, John Clayton pushes the envelope and spreads out a feast of the lighter side of classical music; John calls it 4 hours of fun. You'll hear everything from Strauss waltzes, brass bands, percussion ensembles, to movie music with John Williams and the Boston Pops (Star Wars!). In addition to John Williams, all the other masters of symphonic "pops" music are heard on the show: Richard Hayman, Arthur Fiedler and Eric Kunzel.
The big orchestras are on the docket, but there's also light vocal music and small groups, guitar, flute even tuba ensembles and synthesized "pops" combined with tasty jazz nibbles from such masters as Ray Brown and George Shearing.
