One of the most common things in the world for performers or public speakers is stage fright. Kate Botello tells you about how Tchaikovsky conducted with one hand and what he did with the other one due to his nerves, and how he got past it. You can hear Kate’s morning radio program in Indiana on WICR and WBAA from 6:00-10:00 AM weekdays.

🎉 64 YEARS OF WICR! 🎙️📻

Today we’re celebrating 64 years of WICR bringing music, news, and community to Indianapolis and beyond! From our very first broadcast to the voices you hear today, we’re proud to keep the tradition alive. 🩶❤️

Here’s to 64 years on the air, and many more to come!

You might think Antonio Vivaldi established a legacy that lasted for hundreds of years, but you’d be wrong! Vivaldi’s music wasn’t rediscovered until 1926 and didn’t become popular with modern audiences until the 1950’s!
Kate only had 90 seconds to tell this story, so if you want to know the full details, check out

Many thanks to Venice Music Project's Liesl Odenweller, who inspired us to learn more about rediscovering Vivaldi when Kate interviewed her about "Venetian Mysteries: The Lost Music." Liesl and her team are still discovering lost works of Vivaldi and other great Baroque composers!

Hear newly unearthed music and learn more about the work of music detectives by watching the documentary on the free Kanopy platform.

P.S. We know we said last week that we were finishing up our Baroque trilogy, but we'd only done two reels because apparently Kate can't count to three (lol). Join us for a whole new topic next week!
