Expand your horizons with classical music
An eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises. Tonight we journey with Don Juan from serenading at a window ledge to the gates of hell.
Half an hour of back-to-back classical music, journeying with Don Juan from serenading at a window ledge, mandolin in hand, to the gates of hell and beyond. In between, luxuriate in the beauty of the piano with Shostakovich and Chopin, dance the czardas with Nicola Benedetti and Ksenija Sidorova, and get electric with Pat Metheny and Philip Glass.
