From WSHU's daytime and evening classical programs, Kate Remington and Lauren Rico give you a heads-up on some of the best music they've selected.

Classical Music Highlight: TWO Prodigies In The House!

Growing up as child prodigies, Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn were very close.  So close that Felix may have "borrowed" Fanny's idea of "Songs Without Words," and published them as his own. We'll hear some of them today.  

Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Kate Remington joined WSHU in December of 2000, and she's been WSHU's Music Director since 2002.
