Every weekday at 10 a.m., the hosts at Classical MPR play a standout work based on the theme for the week. We call them Morning Glories.
FinnFest 2017 begins in Minneapolis on Thursday, Sept. 21, so this week for Morning Glories, we are celebrating classical music and musicians from Finland. (Bonus: Try your Finnish pronunciation skills with Finnish composers' and musicians' names.)
