Suzanne Bona

Suzanne Bona is the host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque, a syndicated weekly radio show of Baroque and early music. She originated the program in 1987 on WSHU Public Radio in her hometown of Fairfield, CT. Sunday Baroque has been distributed nationally since 1998, and is currently heard by more than a half million listeners every week on approximately 300 public radio stations and networks across the U.S., and globally at SundayBaroque.org

Suzanne is also a classically trained flutist who earned a Bachelor of Music degree from The University of Connecticut. She continues to perform frequently as a soloist and chamber musician, and has especially enjoyed collaborating with some of her musically talented public radio colleagues in performances for listeners across the country, including in Rochester, NY for WXXI listeners, as well as in West Lafayette, IN, Phoenix, AZ, Cincinnati, Ohio, across Connecticut and on Long Island, NY, and in March 2012 as guest soloist with the Guam Symphony Orchestra in Tumon.

When she is not making radio or playing her flute, Suzanne’s hobbies include traveling, reading, running, cooking, and baking. She is also passionate about the cause of literacy, and for decades has volunteered for non-profit organizations that offer free tutoring and mentoring. Suzanne believes that reading, music, and travel are among life's most transformational experiences.
