On her Wisconsin Classical program, Lori Skelton pays tribute to MM co-founder Jean Berkenstock, who passed away in early October. Tune in on November 19 to hear Christoph Willibald Gluck’s “Dance of the Blessed Spirits,” Gaetano Donizetti’s Trio in F Major, and Josef Rheinberger’s Nonet, Op. 139.

Wisconsin Classical airs on Sunday from 1:00 to 2:00pm CT. Visit Wisconsin Public Radio to find your local station, or stream the program live here.

The pieces by Gluck and Donizetti are on MM’s A Bel Canto Summer CD (released in 2017), and the Rheinberger piece is on MM’s Bursting with Passion CD (released 2014). Both CDs are available to purchase or download as digital files at Bandcamp.

Our board and staff thank Lori Skelton for her unwavering dedication to MM and for graciously creating and scheduling Jean’s tribute.
