I often leave Cleveland's great classical music radio station WCLV on while I work, and have been enjoying the Cleveland International Piano Compeition live, most of this week.
Right now (10 PM, July 31st) is a stunning performance by a 19 year old Chinese student - second round!... tune in if you read this around now... WCLV, Cleveland FM 104.9... Here is WCLV live on the Internet [1]
This is one of Cleveland's greatest exports... I wonder how many people around the world are listening to this young Chinese genius play at the Cleveland Play House, right now, and from where.
His family, wherever they are? "Hi Mom!"
Be sure to tune in - here is the schedule and other info on the WCLV website [2]
I'm listening to both Internet and radio, right now, and the web runs a few seconds lag behind radio, but sounds great too.
