This Tuesday, December 1, host Sergio Mims will be spreading some Henze Werner Henze -- aka the greatest living composer -- love on his classical music radio show, playing a recording of HWH's Ninth Symphony. You can tune in on WHPK-FM in Chicago (88.5 FM) and on-line on www.whpk.org (12 noon - 3PM U.S. Central time).
Henze's Ninth Symphony, a choral work set to the poetry of Hans-Ulrich Treichel in seven movements, was written in 1997, based on the novel The Seventh Cross by Anna Seghers.
