Dear listener,
Here are details of a one-off broadcast coming soon:
Showcase 292 will air with time donated by the station on Radio Channel 292 from Rohrbach, Germany on September 7 from 2100 to 2200 UTC on 3955, 6070 and 9670 kHz. This is Channel 292’s first collaborative simulcast featuring five music and variety programs that appear on its weekly schedule – Alt Universe Top 40 (rock), Encore (classical music), From the Isle of Music (Cuban music), Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot (world and novelty music) and the Voice of the Report of the Week (listener request music plus commentary). 3955 and 9670 are both new frequencies, and listeners are encouraged to try them as a DX catch in eastern Canada and the eastern United States. A special eQSL will be available from the producer (details will be given during the broadcast). 6070 kHz will of course not be receivable in Canada due to CFRX on the same frequency.

This week's programme begins with Steve Hackett, one time member of Genesis - The British progressive rock group, playing a Bach cello piece on the guitar. After that we will have two Hungarian Dances by Brahms - arranged for the piano. Two songs from the opera next - Placido Domingo as Figaro in the Barber of Seville, and the final trio from Die RosenKavalier. An Octet by Schubert and two pieces by contemporary composer Caroline Shaw follow on. The programme finishes with some lute music and part of a Brahms string quartet.
Channel 292 can be pulled live off the internet if the reception is poor in your location. Easy to find their site with a google search.
