A multi tempo show for you today…

In ‘allegro’, maverick music programmer, curator, and Head of Classical Music at the Southbank Centre Toks Dada is on a mission to change the face of classical music.

We’ll give ‘andante’ to Joseph Cavalli-Price, a pianist and hugely accomplished tenor who embodies the profound power that music can have playing for patients in hospices.

Could ‘plucking’ treasures from muddy riverbeds be ‘pizzicato’ or have we overstretched the music vocabulary? Veteran Mudlark Lara Maiklem shares her finds from the last 12 months on the show.

And maybe a ‘crescendo’ or two in the Inheritance Tracks of comedian and podcaster Ed Gamble.

Presenters: Nikki Bedi and Jon Kay Producer: Ben Mitchell
