Sundays at 2 p.m.

Broadcasts from the Spoleto Chamber Music Festival continue this October, Sundays at 2:00 p.m on Classical 91.5. Program highlights include Stenhammar's "Flickan kom ifrån sin älsklings mote," which is Swedish for "The girl came from meeting her lover." This art song features a girl's vivid encounter with bittersweet love:
