Some schools are holding in-person graduation ceremonies this spring, but Your Classical MPR knows that for a lot of students the experience isn’t going to be the same as in past years.

Enjoy this playlist including the graduation ceremony standard, Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1, and other great ceremonial works ideal for your at-home celebration.
