Kevin Locke, a Lakota singer, taught composer David Amram the Honor Song for Sitting Bull, sung for over a century to celebrate the Lakota leader. Amram’s cello concerto celebrates this Native American tradition, and we hear it today in honor of Native American Heritage Month. Tune in just after 9 a.m. on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.

We’re thrilled to introduce Emily Boyer as WSHU's morning classical host.
