Join host Elena See as she plays a mix of wintry and nostalgic classical pieces designed to accompany listeners as they enjoy cozy wintertime activities.
The Danish concept of hygge, pronounced “HYEW-guh,” has no literal English translation, but in spirit it’s close to coziness, comfort and togetherness. Hygge is about savoring and celebrating the moments and elements in our control; a reframed perspective on being housebound during the coldest months of the year.
