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 Matinee 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.

Sunday Matinee this week explores the changing styles and fashions that made nineteenth century music so different from that of the eighteenth. From Bach and Handel to Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky, from the Age of Reason to the Age of Revolution. Join David Bouchier for a fascinating musical journey From Enlightenment to Romance.
