George Frideric Handel's Water Music premiered on July 17 in 1717. Today's Beautiful Music is a 2018 concert performance featuring violinist Fabio Biondi leading Stavanger Symphony Orchestra playing the 1st Suite of Handel's Water Music. It's a great opportunity to see the ensemble being led in this manner, rather than by a conductor.

Suzanne Bona is the host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show of Baroque and early music which she originated on WSHU in 1987.
