Contemporary means “with the times”… contemporary means “now”… and Now Is the Time. Join me for Now Is the Time, every Sunday night at 10 o’clock on WRTI-HD2 and on the all-classical webstream at wrti.org. Contemporary American music is being recorded all the time, and Now Is the Time to take a listen and explore the music of American composers today. All types… all styles… contemporary American music on Now Is the Time, every Sunday night at 10 o’clock on WRTI-HD2. Listen on HD radio or online here.
