SEATTLE, WA – Dec. 16, 2013 – Looking for that one New Year’s resolution that can easily be
accomplished and is even enjoyable? Classical KING FM provides the perfect resolution: More
Mozart. It’s good for you and is accessible–both on air and online through Jan 31. Beginning
Jan. 1, KING FM will play at least one Mozart piece per hour and share an all-Mozart channel
online, available at KING.org.
Not coincidently, Mozart also happened to be born in January, the month of resolutions. In
celebration of his birth, listeners will hear on KING FM international artists such as Jonathan
Biss, pianist; and Anne-Sophie Mutter, violinist as well as performances of Mozart’s music by
regional music groups with brief commentary by Northwest conductors and musicians.
On the radio listeners will enjoy at least 24 works by Mozart every 24 hours. Mozart concertos
will be featured the week of Jan 6-10 with Mozart’s symphonies featured the week of Jan. 13-17,
both running from 7am-7pm. Hear Mozart “from A to Z,” showcasing favorites from Mozart’s
entire catalog of works throughout the rest of the month. Listeners can access the complete
schedule a week ahead at www.KING.org.
“Hundreds of years after his birth, Mozart’s music resonates with all of us, from the greatest
musicians to the most recent of classical music fans.” comments Bryan Lowe, Classical KING
FM program director.
Mozart wrote 41 numbered symphonies. The Paris, Haffner, and Jupiter symphonies are among
Mozart’s most popular, along with his Symphony #25, used to great effect in the movie Amadeus
and as concert hall standards.
