A quick shout out to Reading's 91.3FM WXAC!

Thank you for the rotation love! We greatly appreciate it!

This is “Die Katzensymphonie” (The Cat Symphony), by Austrian painter, Moritz von Schwind (01/21/1804 - 02/08/1871).

It is an unplayable violin melody, with the cats representing notes. Some have theorized that it is supposed to be poking fun at Wagner, whose music Schwind was not a fan of.

The drawing was made in 1868, using the mediums of pencil, pen, and brush. It was gifted to violinist, Joseph Joachim, in honor of his appointment as director of the Berlin University of Music. It now is part of a collection at the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe.

As we reach the 2 week mark before heading back to campus we think it’s important to recognize who will be in and out of the office this year. Here is the E-Board for the 2024 - 2025 school year!
