Sunday Matinee

Classical music is still very much alive in our community. Tune in to 91.1 WSHU-FM (central Long Island and Connecticut) or 89.9 WSUF-FM (on the eastern end of Long Island, where very week David Bouchier puts a different spin on the great era of music from baroque to classical, and romantic to modern. Enjoy anecdotes about the great composers, poetry, musical history, and even musical jokes. Sunday Matinee may explore the hidden links between music and literature, composers’ letters, music for a special season of the year, or music designed to make you think. Whatever the theme, Sunday Matinee gives classical music a new dimension on Sunday afternoons. You can find a brief description of the next program on our music page, and hear it anywhere in the world from our live stream at www.wshu.org
