The Week Ahead on the Web

Pick of the Week

Award Shows--4:30 p.m. Sunday: The season of the big-time award shows for movies and TV begins, as always, with the Golden Globes. AOL’s streaming video coverage provides a look backstage and offers participants a chance to vote in instant polls. The polls and backstage tributes to “everyone who voted for me” may not be everyone’s idea of a good time, but they at least won’t include fashion critiques by Joan Rivers. AOL subscribers can join in by going to keywords “AOL Live.”

Today

* Classical--8 a.m.: If you are a Baroque music fan, it’s hard to imagine a better way to begin the day than with the great violinist Andrew Manze talking about and playing early compositions for the instrument. And if you’re not a Baroque music fan, you will be after listening to Manze. This program, the second in a four-part series, features music by Bach, Petersen and Zavateri. https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3

* Country--10 a.m.: Damon Bramblett has been on the Austin, Texas, music scene for several years, writing songs for Kelly Willis, Charlie Robison and others.

* Theater--1:30 p.m.: Although British actress Fiona Shaw will appear in the upcoming film adaptation of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” as Petunia Dursley, anyone who has seen Shaw in one of her many stage roles can attest to how powerful her performances are. On this radio show from the BBC, she is interviewed about performing Greek tragedy for modern audiences. Shaw already is known for her portrayal of Elektra and soon will be taking on the role of Medea. https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3
