BwGN AM Mixtape #28 – The one that's all contemporary classical

A couple months ago, frequent BFF.fm listener @suldrew tweeted that he was happy to hear some classical music on the station. Well, that was me! But, like many shows, I quickly shifted gears to play other genres of music, promising to create a contemporary classical mixtape for a future show.The future is now, and here it is. Thanks for listening.
