From Classical Strings to Cinema Shocks: This Week in Culture

This week on Showcase: Violin virtuoso and social media star Esther Abrami joins us in studio to talk about her upcoming album Women, a powerful tribute to female composers across time. She shares the story behind her 200-year-old violin, her composition Transmission, and how she’s using social media to make classical music more accessible. We also count down the biggest movie announcements from CinemaCon 2025 — including new details on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a Legend of Zelda live-action film, and the cast reveal for a Beatles biopic. Esra Durust sits down with Canadian artist Marcel Dzama at his surreal and symbolic first solo exhibition in Istanbul, where he reflects on masks, bats, ballet, and how a house fire sparked a new artistic chapter. And soul legend Herb Murrell of The Stylistics talks about their return to the studio after two decades, working with Shania Twain, and what to expect from their UK tour later this year. Plus, we wrap up the week’s biggest entertainment stories — including Doctor Who’s new season and the winners from this year’s Laurence Olivier Awards.
