Things got a little crazy this morning on Classical 101.
The award-winning early music ensemble Wayward Sisters and critically acclaimed soprano Kathryn Mueller joined me this morning on Classical 101 to give us a preview of their concert Frenzy and Fire: Music Gone Mad, Sunday, Oct. 25 at 3:30 p.m. in Capital University's Mees Hall Auditorium.
The concert, presented by Early Music in Columbus, will feature a potpourri of mad songs and instrumental selections conveying madness and emotional instability.
