Did you know that the oceans cover 71 percent of the Earth's surface and contain 97 percent of the Earth's water? If the ocean's total salt content were dried, it would cover the continents to a depth of 5 feet. Coming up on Afternoon Classics, Debussy explores the ocean’s depths, and heights, in La Mer.

Enjoy fireworks no matter the forecast: Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks, and the perennial favorite at fireworks displays, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.

Sunday Baroque features Baroque and early music written before 1750.
This week: George Frideric Handel was like an 18th century rock star. When people found out that he and his band were supplying the music for the king’s big fireworks display in central London, 12,000 people showed up to hear the rehearsal. You’re invited to a special private performance of Handel’s Fireworks Music this holiday weekend on Sunday Baroque.
While Sunday Matinée host David Bouchier is on an extended stay in Europe, WSHU Afternoon Classics host Lauren Rico will be keeping his chair warm. Join Lauren each Sunday as she shares both familiar music and some discoveries. Travel back in time with Lauren's feature, "Time Capsule," when she spotlights the music and important events from a particular year.
Classics for Kids host Naomi Lewin focuses on a different composer each month, with each week’s program highlighting a different aspect of that composer’s life and work. Weekly topics may include the composer’s life, a trip through the music and its instrumentation, an explanation of the musical form, the story behind the piece or connections between composers.
