Singer and musician Julie Fowlis finds spaces to breathe

Julie Fowlis opens up a selection of music from a singer and musician鈥檚 point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Julie Fowlis found her musical voice growing up on the Outer Hebridean island of North Uist, and since then her music has taken her around the world, via festivals, concerts, and film and game soundtracks. In today鈥檚 Inside Music Julie鈥檚 choices include an upbeat waltz by Tchaikovsky, a moving piece for cl脿rsach (the Celtic harp) and string quartet, and a cinematic musical kiss that wakes her every morning!

Julie also welcomes 2022 with a kaleidoscopic Hootenanny from Wynton Marsalis and Nicola Benedetti.

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
