We start with Canadian Sandeep Bhagwati's beautiful memorial to his composition teacher, then a richly expressive duet by the early 20th-century British-American Rebecca Clarke. Zac Pulak brings a burst of energy courtesy of Kelly-Marie Murphy, before Ensemble Made In Canada and friends launch into the 15-year-old Mendelssohn's delightfully upbeat piano sextet.
