It is America's most widely listened to weekly classical music program produced by public radio, and airs on approximately 200 stations nationwide. Programs since 1997 are also available as archived audio on the Internet.

For each hour-long show, host Bill McGlaughlin invites a virtuoso soloist or ensemble into the studio to discuss and perform music. The music on the program generally fits under the wide umbrella of classical music, and the pieces performed run the gamut from late medieval through to contemporary music.

Famous quotes containing the words saint and/or sunday:
“The anguish of the neurotic individual is the same as that of the saint. The neurotic, the saint are engaged in the same battle. Their blood flows from similar wounds. But the first one gasps and the other one gives.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
“I’m a Sunday School teacher, and I’ve always known that the structure of law is founded on the Christian ethic that you shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself—a very high and perfect standard. We all know the fallibility of man, and the contentions in society, as described by Reinhold Niebuhr and many others, don’t permit us to achieve perfection.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
