Ease into your Weekend Mornings with music and news!

Saturday and Sunday 6 to 8 a.m. Echoes is a musical soundscape hosted by John Diliberto. Echoes is a sound that is cross-cultural and trans-millennial, merging cultures and forms, technology and tradition, the ancient past and the possible future. Diliberto provides interviews with the artists making the music and captures recordings for the Living Room Concert series.

Weekend Edition Saturday wraps up the week’s news and offers a mix of analysis and features on a wide range of topics, including arts, sports, entertainment, and human interest stories. Your host is NPR’s Peabody Award-winning Scott Simon. Simon brings a humorous, sophisticated and often moving perspective to each show. He is as comfortable having a conversation with a major world leader as he is talking with a Hollywood celebrity or the guy next door.

Saturday and Sunday 8 - 10 a.m.

Hosted by Ayesha Rascoe, Weekend Edition Sunday features interviews with newsmakers, artists, scientists, politicians, musicians, writers, theologians and historians. Every week listeners tune in to hear a unique blend of news, features and the regularly scheduled puzzle segment with Puzzlemaster Will Shortz, the crossword puzzle editor of The New York Times.

From the opening horn calls signaling unstoppable fate to the delirious ending full of cymbal crashes and orchestral fireworks, Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony serves, in the composer’s words, as a “faithful echo” of an intense emotional journey. Martucci’s Nocturne employs gentle, beautiful melodies to portray nighttime calm, and Dohnányi’s set of variations humorously transforms a familiar childhood melody through a variety of musical styles. Join us for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra live under the direction of maestro Jader Bignamini.

Join Judy Wagley every week for her series From the Ground Up exploring all facets of the growing season. Whether you’re getting your hands dirty for the first time or have reached the rank of master gardener, young and old will learn helpful tips shared by experts in their fields.
