Composer, performer and author Kerry Andrew with repetitive rhythms and refreshing rhymes

Kerry Andrew reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, including a jazz interpretation of Stravinsky鈥檚 Rite of Spring and Bj枚rk collaborating with a string quartet.

Composer, performer and author Kerry Andrew explores music which blurs the lines between genres, from a new piece built on a traditional song to a track that blends elements of classical music with the sounds of rock and electronic dance music.

As a successful writer and musician, Kerry enjoys delving deep into the relationship between music and text - admiring the genius placement of rhymes in a song by Rogers and Hart, and revealing a piano piece by Debussy that inspired a short story.

Kerry also discovers a scherzo infused with cheekiness, a quartet born out of extreme hardship, and a surprising arrangement for brass band鈥�

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