Amy Beach made history with her Gaelic Symphony — the first symphony by an American woman ever published. She wove Irish folk melodies into a grand Romantic canvas, creating music that feels both familiar and strikingly original. Hear Beach’s Gaelic Symphony tonight on 91.1, 107.5, and the WSHU music stream.
From WSHU's daytime and evening classical programs, Emily Boyer and Lauren Rico give you a heads-up on some of the best music they've selected.
