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.

Join David Bouchier week for the second part of Sounds Intimate - the Pleasures of Chamber Music, with dozens of delightful examples from the modern age, from Debussy to Gershwin, including listeners' favorites, and some less familiar but very enjoyable modern composers and ensembles from all over the world.
