Mari Samuelsen, Christopher Willis, and Harry Bicket, Ann Hallenberg and Elena Villal贸n

Violinist Mari Samuelsen, composer Christopher Willis, and The English Concert's Harry Bicket with singers Ann Hallenberg and Elena Villal贸n join Sarah Walker.

After her recently released album 'LYS' (Deutsche Grammophon), exploring the notion of light though the music of thirteen female composers, violinist Mari Samuelsen joins Sarah Walker ahead of her concert with the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. She performs live, accompanied by pianist Katherine Tinker.

Live from Los Angeles, composer Christopher Willis talks about the new orchestral version of Eva Cassidy's album 'I Can Only Be Me', released for the 60th anniversary of the American folk singer's birth.

In the studio, also performing live, is conductor and harpsichordist Harry Bicket, accompanied by mezzo-soprano Ann Hallenberg and soprano Elena Villal贸n, as they are about to recreate, with historically accurate period instruments, the first benefit concert George Frideric Handel gave in 1749 for the Foundling Hospital, and as the English Concert just launched a new project, Handel for All.
