Symphony Spotlight

This week we share classical covers of pop songs, ensembles like the Imani Winds and their pursuit of racial equity, and information on our Romantic Brahms concert and WMHT Radio Hour.

Netflix's Bridgerton has allowed the Vitamin String Quartet to reimagine today's pop songs into classical covers! Check out this cover of Billie Eilish's song bad guy. Classical FM's Kyle Macdonald explores the creative choice of reimagining today's pop songs into arrangements that fit the time period in this article.
