Lively and uplifting classics for the start of the day, presented by a host with a passion for making musical connections. Cheryl provides a thoughtful framework for the music: sharing what was happening culturally or politically at the time a piece was written; talking a bit about the composer's background or motivation for a particular piece. Tune in and enjoy a sense of discovery and delight in the music.
