After last week’s ballet episode explored things above and below as its secondary theme, we’re looking exclusively skyward on this episode of Extra Eclectic — with music celebrating the sun, the stars and even the aurora. We hear Max Richter’s music from the film Ad Astra, Jacob ter Velduis’s Piano Concerto No. 2 (Sky Falling), Olivia Bellis’ Limina Luminis and much more.
