An eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises, like Bobby McFerrin duetting with Yo-Yo Ma and a joyous musical encounter with Death.

An eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises. Tonight, Bobby McFerrin jams with Yo-Yo Ma, Debussy meets radical Canadian chamber group Collectif9, and we get lyrical with George Walker. Plus Martinu conjures up a magical night, and we throw back to the arrival of spring with Earl Wild's sumptuous arrangement of Rachmaninov.
