Friday afternoon brings both the most anticipated and the most dreaded commute of the week. Whether it's in a car, on a bus, or along the sidewalk, the release of the burdens of the work week is only tempered by ... well, everyone else doing the same thing.

Enter Drive Time Live, when musicians come to you directly from Classical New England's Fraser Performance Studio. The spontaneity of live performance and conversation with host Cathy Fuller brings uncommon vitality to classical music, tailor-made for a time that needs it most!

The Fraser Performance Studio is a "room within a room," with a floating floor resiliently mounted on a concrete slab, isolating the studio from the building. Instruments include two Hamburg Steinway Concert Grand PIanos (Model D and Model B) and a 1973 William Dowd harpsichord modeled after an 18th century double manual instrument by Pascal Taskin.
