“In Tune’s specially curated playlist: an eclectic mix of music, including a few surprises. Featuring music with dancing melodic lines, from Mozart's overture to the ballet 'The Little Nothings', to cascading rivers of notes from two great pianists: Lang Lang and Bobby Timmons. Plus, mellifluous music for flutes from contemporary composer John Luther Adams and a clock made out of an orchestra.”
