Every weekday morning at 10 a.m., the hosts at Classical MPR play a stand-out work based on the theme for the week. We call them Morning Glories.

The first day of summer is this week - Friday, June 21, and we will be welcoming it with an hour long summer-themed special. Also, all through the week we'll celebrate the (hopefully) approaching warmth and sunshine with a week of summery Morning Glories.
