WSHU Celebrates Sunday Baroque: A Concert featuring The Sylvan Trio
Join us as we celebrate 25 years of WSHU’s Sunday Baroque series with a concert featuring The Sylvan Trio, an ensemble comprised of program host and flutist Suzanne Bona, cellist Josh Aerie, and pianist Greg Kostraba. The group has performed throughout the Midwest, including concerts in Chicago, Cincinnati, Duluth, St. Louis, Toledo, and at Purdue University. Their studio and live recordings receive airplay throughout the U.S. and beyond, including multiple appearances on Performance Today (the nation’s most listened-to classical music program). Friday, October 18, 2024 at 7:00 pm
The concert will take place in the Gillespie Room located in LIM’s Carriage Museum.Tickets
Twenty-five years ago, Sunday Baroque was among the most listened-to programs on WSHU, but a well kept secret beyond our coverage area. We began offering it nationally and today this unique program of early music created and hosted by Suzanne Bona is enjoyed by listeners on over 270 stations around the country!
The success of Sunday Baroque is really a story about the commitment of public radio listeners. The program’s growth has been made possible by the generous members of the Friends of Sunday Baroque; foundations like the Shilling Family Foundation, the Maurer Family Foundation and Richard P. Garmany Fund; and donations from listeners from Fairfield and Port Jefferson…to Washington, DC and Gainesville, FL…to Boulder, CO and beyond!

November 10 – Brooks Williams | 5:00 pm
A long-overdue return visit from this amazing bluesman, Brooks Williams, who has been described as “a fret monster who has to be seen to be believed.” His musical vision spans continents and genres, blues, jazz, slide, finger-style, with funky chords, walking bass lines and fiery riffs played on acoustic, resonator and even cigar box guitars. Originally from Statesboro Georgia, Williams emerged from the Boston blues scene to develop a devoted following in both the US and in the UK (where he now lives). His recent solo albums showcase his own song writing but he has also collaborated on an album of Don Everly songs.
Bob Westcott will open this show. Bob has been perfecting his elegant finger-style guitar work for well over 30 years, from his early years in Greenwich Village, to time spent in England, Canada and various parts of the United States before settling in eastern Long Island.
