The American Story, told in music

Paul Robeson 1942
Gordon Parks
Paul Robeson 1942

America’s story is told in many voices. As part of America 250, The American Experience explores our nation through music.

We begin with African American artists whose work expanded what “American” sounds like. Florence Price. William Grant Still. And the powerful voice of Paul Robeson.

Hear the Friday night encore of The American Experience tonight from 8-10pm on 91.1, 107.5 and our music stream.

We’re thrilled to introduce Emily Boyer as WSHU's morning classical host.
For more than 20 years, Lauren has demystified classical music for her audiences by taking it off a dusty old pedestal and putting it into a modern context. She lives on Long Island with her husband and two punky schnauzers.
