The eclectic classical mix

In Tune's specially curated classical mixtape, including a familiar tune in an unfamiliar disguise.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Cabaret singer? A familiar tune in an unfamiliar disguise in tonight's In Tune Mixtape. An eclectic sequence of music including a frog with a violin concerto and a legendary harp made by Vainamoinen, a god in the Finnish epic the 'Kalevala', from the jawbone of a giant pike, supposedly strung with the hair of a fair maiden.
