Carnegie Hall Live returns!
Enjoy a new season of Carnegie Hall Live! Every Saturday this summer, WSHU will bring you concert recordings captured live during the 23-24 season, beginning with Carnegie's Opening Night Gala concert with the Chicago Symphony led by Riccardo Muti and continues with performances from some of the classical music world’s most esteemed artists.
The best part: you can enjoy these extraordinary performances on your couch, in a hammock, at the beach or in the car as you take a lazy drive.
Wherever you are, tune in via the WSHU app, your smart speaker, on your radio at 91.1 FM and associated translators, and on all-classical 107.5 FM in eastern Suffolk County.
It runs on Saturday afternoons from June 8 to August 31 during a new time this season — from 3-5 p.m.
