Every weekday at noon on Classical KUSC, Kimberlea Daggy invites you to nourish your soul with The Daily Special, featuring favorite classical pieces with intriguing connections. Kimberlea examines classical works within the context of the world in which it they were created. How have visual arts and literature stirred up the music world? How has nature inspired music throughout the centuries? What truths can a teenage composer, or an octogenarian, tell us through music? "The Daily Special is all about the music, and why it works magic on the human spirit," says Kimberlea. "I want to give you wonderful music, like some sumptuous mental food. Something beautiful to reflect on and maybe some ideas to play around with all afternoon."
