Saint Paul Sunday for March 23, 2008
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra"
The first guests Saint Paul Sunday -then known as Saint Paul Sunday Morning- welcomed into its studio are the same performers you'll hear this week: the marvelous Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. On that inaugural broadcast, which aired twenty five years ago last month, the SPCO joined forces with the Dale Warland Singers for an all-Bach program. The auspicious beginning turned into a long and happy affair, delighting listeners with some twenty seven more programs. This week, discover again why this orchestra of soloists is an American musical treasure. They'll bring us music from a vibrant trio of composers-a Haydn symphony, a Schubert rondo, and two of Astor Piazzolla's vivid Porteno
What would it be like to hear the Juilliard String Quartet perform in your living room? Or to invite violinist Joshua Bell over for brunch and Bach? Many people believe that chamber music is open only to connoisseurs, but each week Saint Paul Sunday's host Bill McGlaughlin (pronounced "mih-*GLOCK*-lun") disproves this all-too-common view.
He opens the studio to the world's best classical artists—musicians of every conceivable style and mix—for both performance and conversation, giving listeners intimate access to how music is created at the highest level. It's all done with a great sense of exuberance and curiosity. The series' unique approach has won it hundreds of thousands of loyal listeners.
