“In tonight's ever-eclectic mix we journey with Don Juan from serenading at a window ledge, mandolin in hand, to the gates of hell and beyond. In between, we 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 Methany and Philip Glass. Producer: David Fay.”
