A divertimento is a light-hearted piece of music that was popular in the 18th century. Divertimenti were often played at social functions and were intended to entertain both the performers and the audience. We've got plenty of music to delight and entertain you tonight, starting at 8 p.m. on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.

Julie Freddino is WSHU's program director. She also hosts Sunday Spotlight and produces Sunday Baroque.
