Happy Halloween Everyone! In this episode, we play a spooky 4-hand piano version of Saint-Saëns' "Danse Macabre", arranged by Australian pianist & composer Wendy Hiscocks. This piece has been featured in pop culture and Disney cartoons and is a must-listen for the Halloween season.

In this episode, we share our love for our favorite city in the world: New York. And what better artist to celebrate New York with than Billy Joel?
