Sunday Baroque features Baroque and early music written before 1750.
This week: As you’re relaxing Sunday, maybe enjoying extra time off, you can listen to some very hard-working musicians. Some of the world’s most-recorded classical musicians will play music by some of the hardest-working 18th century musicians. It’s the highlight of Sunday Baroque this Labor Day holiday weekend.
Every week on Sunday Matinée, host David Bouchier puts a different spin on classical music.
This week: Labor Day weekend means that millions of students are settling back into school and college. But Mozart scarcely ever went to school, Beethoven learned barely enough arithmetic to add up a grocery bill, Sibelius was trained to be a lawyer, and Rimsky Korsakov attended a school for naval officers. This week on Sunday Matinée David Bouchier describes the strange and unorthodox ways in which the great composers were and were not educated.
Classics for Kids host Naomi Lewin focuses on a different composer each month, with each week’s program highlighting a different aspect of that composer’s life and work. Weekly topics may include the composer’s life, a trip through the music and its instrumentation, an explanation of the musical form, the story behind the piece or connections between composers.
