Your go-to introduction to classical music

In Tune's Classical Music Mixtape: an imaginative, eclectic mix which tonight includes concertos by Mozart and Vivaldi, a Fanfare to the Common Man, and Delius's La Calinda.

Tonight, we join Delius in the orange groves of Florida, place our hope in God with Will Todd鈥檚 Birthday Quartet, revel in the energy of Mozart鈥檚 鈥楥oronation鈥� Piano Concerto, and offer a Fanfare to the Common Man. We dance the evening away with Leroy Anderon鈥檚 Jazz Pizzicato, then pause to draw breath with the sardonic irony of Shostakovich played by Olli Mustonen, before the warm glow of summer radiates out from the quill of Antonio Vivaldi.
