250 years old and ready to download

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is moving into the 21st century.

In celebration of the composer’s 250th birthday, KMZT-FM (105.1) is featuring a free download beginning today of Mozart’s Serenade No. 6 in D major K.239 (Serenata Notturna) on its website at www.kmzt.com. Conducted by Harry Bicket, the 14-minute piece is performed by the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and was recorded live at Royce Hall last year.

In another bid to reach cutting-edge listeners, the station offers a radio side channel playing adult-standards artists such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. A special radio receiver is required to receive those digital broadcasts.
