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.

Sunday Matinée celebrates Father's Day this week. Music was and is often a family affair. Think of the Bach family, the Mozarts, or the Haydns Yet these were not always model families by modern standards. Some of the great composers - indeed, many of them - had rather eccentric fathers, and were often very strange fathers themselves. David will tell their stories and play their music on Fathers and Sons
