Sunday Baroque
Hosted by Suzanne Bona
The number three has extensive symbolism, from philosophy and religion to mathematics and physics. There are three primary colors, three Patriarchs in Judaism; it’s the first odd prime number; and Shakespeare wrote about “three weird sisters,” to name just a few. There’s also wonderful music featuring three instruments, including some Baroque concertos, so three’s a charm this morning.
