Did you know that April is Poetry Month? Sunday Baroque will celebrate with poetic music by a variety of composers, including a leading 14th c. French musician and poet who combined his skills by setting many of his own verses to music, and choice selections of music from William Shakespeare’s time. It’s on Sunday Baroque this week.

Settle into a comfortable chair with your favorite beverage, and let the intricate melodies of the Baroque era transform your weekend. Sunday Baroque offers a thoughtfully curated selection of music from composers like Bach, Vivaldi, and Handel, alongside lesser-known gems from the period. Each episode feels like a personal concert, blending lively concertos, graceful dance suites, and profound sacred works. The host provides just enough context to enrich the listening experience, sharing stories behind the compositions and the musicians who bring them to life, without ever interrupting the flow of the music. It’s a weekly auditory retreat designed to complement a slower pace, whether you’re preparing a leisurely breakfast, enjoying a quiet afternoon, or simply seeking a moment of refined beauty. This podcast has become an essential ritual for many, a dedicated space where the elegance and mathematical precision of seventeenth and eighteenth-century music provide a perfect counterbalance to modern noise. Tune in to discover why this collection of fresh and essential recordings has earned its place as the soundtrack for a Sunday state of mind.
