Sunday afternoons are special on WSHU. Every week, David Bouchier puts a different spin on classical music - anecdotes about the great composers, poetry, musical history, and even musical jokes. Sunday Matinée may explore the hidden links between music and literature, composers' letters, music for a special season of the year, or music designed to make you think. Whatever the theme, David Bouchier gives classical music a new dimension on Sunday afternoons.

The classical repertoire includes enough fine music to satisfy every taste. But, over the past two centuries, some composers and some works have become established as universal favorites. This afternoon on Sunday Matinée David Bouchier will play a selection of these much-loved classics, including Barber's Adagio, Mozart's Horn Concerto, the Moonlight Sonata, and the adagio from Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto. Please call in and make a pledge during the afternoon at 1-800-777-9748 and thank you for your continued support.
