A very good new week to you, Listeners. We are honored to be here with you, sharing this amazing music.

Then at 8pmET, Monday Night at the Symphony features recordings of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra with works by Bizet, Saint-Saens, and Elgar, conducted by Simon Rattle, Sakari Oramo, and Louis Fremaux.

And on Wednesday just after 11amET, George will give away two tickets to the Akropolis Reed Quintet’s performance in Durham this Friday evening, courtesy of Duke Arts.
