NPR first selected a Windham Chamber Music Festival performance for broadcast on August 1, 2000. It was the premiere of Three Joplin Rags, Scott Joplin piano pieces which were arranged for chamber ensemble by WCMF Co-Director Robert Manno and performed just a few weeks prior to the broadcast. Since 2000 there have been well over 30 broadcasts of various WCMF performances and these have featured performers such as harpist Deborah Hoffman, flutists Nadine Asin, Tara Helen O'Connor and Elizabeth Mann, clarinetist Alan Kay, pianists John Churchwell and Volodymyr Vynnytsky, trumpeter Mark Gould, English hornist Sharon Meekins, as well as the Aspen Ensemble, Lark Quartet, Zapolski Quartet, Meridian Quartet, Borealis Wind Quartet and the Windham Festival Chamber Orchestra conducted by Robert Manno. The most recent WCMF broadcast (Adagio for Strings by Robert Manno, recorded at the July 15, 2006 gala concert) was aired on Monday, September 4, 2006. All of the Windham performances have been recorded by Wayne Hileman, Gregory Squires and Richard Price of Squires Productions and Candlewood Digital. Here is a listing of some of the WCMF performances that have been broadcast on NPR's "Performance Today" program.
