Who says modern classical can’t be gorgeous? Not us! On the latest episode of Extra Eclectic, host Steve Seel helps take the edge off the night before Thanksgiving with good music to calm your nerves after a day of traveling — or maybe you just need some solace now that the in-laws are in town. You’ll hear Home, by Kevin Puts; one of Einojuhani Rautavaara’s Serenades for Violin; plus music by Arvo Part, Judd Greenstein, Jane Antonio Cornish and more.
