Tchaikovsky composed his beloved ballet The Nutcracker in July, but it has since become a fixture of the Christmas season. Our music tonight includes a complete performance conducted by Simon Rattle. Tune in at 8 p.m. on 91.1 and 107.5 FM and our music stream.
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.
Listen tonight: The complete Nutcracker Ballet
