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.

Halloween is just around the corner. It's a disturbing time, with all those ghosts, witches, Jack O' Lanterns, and strange spirits in plastic costumes. This week on Sunday Matinée we will hear some appropriately dark and spooky music to get us in the mood. Join David Bouchier for "Music from the Dark Side" from 1 till 6, right after Sunday Baroque.
