Music Meets Mystery on WQXR

ANGELS' BLOOD: MURDER IN THE CHORUS by author Roberta Mantell will be featured on WQXR (105.9 FM) this Sunday, May 17 at 3 PM on Annie Bergen’s Book Club.

The program pairs a selected book with a piece of music that reflects its themes and atmosphere. This week’s episode highlights the 19th‑century British composer Edward Elgar, who appears as a character in Angels’ Blood. His evocative “Enigma Variations” is expected to be part of the broadcast, creating a rich musical backdrop for the novel’s world.

Roberta Mantell, a lifelong lover of music, literature, and the arts, brings her deep knowledge of choral culture and classical composition into the heart of this mystery. You can learn more about her work and background here.
