Could Any Musician Hold Our Attention for Days on End?

The Takeaway

Here in New York, WQXR, the sister station of our co-producer WNYC is launching something they’re calling Bach 360 °.
It’s a proper Bach-a-thon – a ten-day Bach marathon festival that explores what Johann Sebastian’s music means to modern listeners. It will feature more than 200 hours of Bach over the span of 10 days. That’s 20 hours of Bach a day for more than a week.
Jeff Spurgeon, morning host of WQXR, explains how the prolific musician’s work will be distributed across the days and weeks. We’ll also hear your suggestions for the music you’d like to hear for hours and hours on end.

Less than .05% of listeners will donate. Can we count on you?

Our coverage reaches millions each week, but only a small fraction of listeners contribute to sustain our program. We still need 224 more people to donate $100 or $10/monthly to unlock our $67,000 match. Will you help us get there today?
