It's plenty hot outside these days, but the music for this week's programming is even hotter. Especially this upcoming Saturday's broadcast of Mozart's 'Don Giovanni.'

Classical 101 has insightful musical programming 24-hours a day, every day. So, tune in for weekend selections like Music in Mid-Ohio to hear musicians from our community, or check out the weekday evening shows such as Fretworks and The American Sound to hear the best music for guitar with John Rittmeyer, or Jennifer Hambrick's take on American composition.
