Ravinia Music Festival was the site of a good-bye party for classical music WFMT’s Carl Grapentine who is retiring after some 32 years as morning program host. As a regular listener to some part of each week day 4 hour program, I just had to attend the party. The faithful formed a line that required the best part of 2 hours for everyone to personally wish him well. Party-goers then enjoyed the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus give a rousing rendition of Beethovan’s 9th Symphony. A fine time was had by all.
