Raphaela Gromes — Fortissima

Internationally renowned cellist Raphaela Gromes is celebrated for her mission to bring forgotten women composers back into the spotlight. Her album “Femmes” (2023) delighted a wide audience with a musical kaleidoscope of female composers from the Baroque to the present day. And her new release, "Fortissima," continues this story. We spoke with Gromes about the project.

Rob Brown comes from a musical family. His mother played piano and taught in this area for nearly 30 years. One uncle is a composer and brass player, one aunt is a professional accompanist and recitalist. And his grandfather had a record collection to rival WMHT’s. He started at WMHT as an intern in 1996. His first job was to go through the stacks of vinyl to make sure they were filed properly. He’s now the Music Director and is thrilled to continue in the “family business” and share more of our very favorite classical music from 1-4 every weekday and 11-3 on Sundays.
