KBACH needs 1,400 listeners to step up after losing federal funding so we can keep the music alive.

🎉 Happy 134th birthday to Sir Arthur Bliss! His brief stint at the Royal College of Music may have been cut short by WWI, which took him to the battlefield – but not away from music. After the war, he quickly rose to fame as a composer and eventually became Master of the Queen’s Music.

What's your favorite morning beverage? My husband LOVES coffee, so I bought him this cute mug featuring our kitties, Cassie and Percy.

🎂 Happy birthday to Igor Markevitch, born on this day in 1912! Hailed by Sergei Diaghilev as a prodigy, Markevitch dazzled early as a composer – and later became one of the 20th century’s most electrifying conductors. His recordings of Stravinsky, Berlioz, and Ravel still shine with precision and flair. ✨
