But I do want to say two things.

Lara Downes has a weeknight radio program on KUSC, which you can pick up with the KUSC app, or https://kusc.org

It runs from 8 to 12 PM Pacific (like right now) until midnight, and she always ends it with a lullaby.

She features classics and includes works composed by and /or performed by Black and women musicians.

Apparently, there are several streams (like WQXR) but I stick with my favorites. Classical KUSC and Operavore on WQXR.

Second, Duke Ellington was an absolutely brilliant composer. It’s good to hear his works performed.
