Classical Connections

John Toal brings you a vibrant mix of orchestral masterpieces, choral gems, and cinematic favorites. This week’s selection spans the globe, featuring Handel’s regal Water Music, Copland’s powerful Fanfare for the Common Man, and Grieg’s thrilling In the Hall of the Mountain King. Plus, we take a trip to the Antrim coast with Charles Villiers Stanford’s beautiful Cushendall, and cross the Atlantic with Meredith Monk’s moving Ellis Island.
