Letter V Classical Radio this week

Studio guests in the second hour: Cellist and University of Richmond President Ronald A. Crutcher and UR faculty pianist Joanne Kong, previewing their recitals on July 6 and 7 launching “Rachmaninoff and the Russians,” the Richmond Symphony Summer Series
of six early evening chamber concerts, on Thursdays through Aug. 11 at Dominion Arts Center.

We’ll sample some of the music featured on their program, and hear Crutcher playing a solo work written for him by the American composer Alvin Singleton.
