Do you know the Spiritual Swing Low, Sweet Chariot? Antonin Dvorak didn’t know it growing up—he learned it from his friend Harry Burleigh, who learned it from his family. Hear how Dvorak blended new songs in a new country, and wrote his New World Symphony, today on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.

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