Untill WPRB reopens, Classical Discoveries will present a weekly three hour program each Wednesday from 7:00 till 10:00am.

A couple of weeks ago I was out with friends who thought it would be really great to have a piece written during the marathon and have it aired at the end of the event.
The composition below is the result of these discussions. A warm thanks to composer, Steve Layton and his colleagues for making this come true.
Mash-up/mix by Steve Layton, from tracks contributed December 26-28 2019 by the members of the weekly online music-sharing event "Sound-In" (https://www.facebook.com/groups/improvfriday)
