Classical Music with Brian McCreath | St. Andrew's Day
In honor of St. Andrew’s Day, Scotland’s national day, on Nov. 30, host Brian McCreath presents Scottish music—ancient, modern, and in between—including Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3 in A minor, “Scottish,” and an exclusive WGBH recording of Musica Pacifica (shown) performing James Oswald’s Sonata of Scots Tunes.

Beginning Tuesday, Dec. 1, on 99.5 All Classical
The Music You Love
We asked you to share with us "the music that made you love music," and you responded!  Now, tune in all month to hear your picks and stories on the air, like Ellis in Concord, NH who at 8 years old would listen to Beethoven's 5th again and again in his attic, conducting the orchestra with two knitting needles.
