Six musical friends in New York have a part-time project called yMusic, a one-of-a-kind ensemble with an interest in "flourishing in the overlap between pop and classical worlds." On Thursday's Performance Today, hear yMusic perform "Everness" by Mark Dancigers, with special thanks from our friends at Classical KING-FM in Seattle.
