A half-hour musical cocktail to delight and inspire

Serenades by Mozart and Korngold, a concerto for mandolin by Vivaldi, a duet from Bernstein's opera-cum-musical Candide, and an arrangement of Joe Zawinul's jazz hit Birdland.

An eclectic mix of music covering a range of emotions and styles, including Vivaldi's lively concerto for mandolin, a dreamy slow movement from one of Mozart's wind serenades, a capricious serenade written by Korngold for the birth of his son, a duet from Bernstein's Broadway operetta Candide, and an arrangement of Joe Zawinul's Weather Report jazz hit Birdland.
