Some musicals transcend their stage lives through various means, and we’re going to be looking at one of those incarnations on this week’s Dress Circle (12/8 7:00 p.m.) when we sample some “instrumentalized” scores. These symphonic suites come from Stephen Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd” and “Pacific Overtures,” “Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Cats,” Stephen Flaherty’s score for “Ragtime,” and Richard Rodgers’ music for “South Pacific.” We promise you a relaxing hour of unfamiliar familiar music this week if you need a rest from all of the holiday festivities…
What's ahead on The Classical Network? Catch some of these great programs coming your way. Information on evening concert broadcasts of the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra and other nationally broadcast performances can be found on our home page.
