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.

This is a year of big anniversaries - Mozart's 250th, and Shostakovich's 100th coming up next week. Well, here's another big one. It's ten whole years this week since David Bouchier began hosting Sunday Matinée. What better way to celebrate than to look back at the music and stories we've enjoyed and discovered in that time. Join David for a nostalgic look back at a decade of Sunday Matinée, as always from 1 till 6, right after Sunday Baroque.
