From living in a shelter in Los Angeles to earning a scholarship at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Ben Shirley’s journey is inspiring. Tonight, hear his High Sierra Sonata, a piece inspired by the challenge of running a high-altitude marathon in the Sierra mountains—a musical journey through perseverance and triumph. Tune in tonight to 91.1, 107.5, or our music stream.

Julie Freddino is WSHU's Program Director. She also produces Sunday Baroque.
