In the 1940's, a great relationship was formed when choreographer Agnes De Mille collaborated with Aaron Copland to create a ballet about exactly this topic… The difficulty pioneer women had finding a suitable man. A musical match made in heaven… when Rodeo comes to Afternoon Classics today.

FOLK & OTHER

NEW AGE

Sunday Baroque features Baroque and early music written before 1750.

This week: Although women composers were relatively few and far between in the 18th century, there were some prominent and successful women in music. Elizabeth Claude Jacquet de la Guerre was a celebrated performer and composer, and Isabella Leonarda created some 200 compositions from inside her convent. You’ll hear music by these and other remarkable women on Sunday Baroque this week.

Every week on Sunday Matinée, host David Bouchier puts a different spin on classical music.

This week: David Bouchier brings you a program that explores the curious alchemy of words and music. Shakespeare, Pushkin, Voltaire and Alfred Lord Tennyson will all put in appearance, to show how often and in so many different ways composers have been inspired by the written word.


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.

WSHU presents a preview of our local symphony concerts. Listen in as our music hosts Kate Remington and Lauren Rico talk to the conductors of our local orchestras.
