Reinaldo Marcus Green on One Love, Bryce Dessner of The National

Bryce Dessner of rock band The National on his new piano concerto, and how artists have depicted the flight into Egypt.

Director Reinaldo Marcus Green talks to Tom Sutcliffe about One Love, his biopic about the legendary reggae singer-songwriter Bob Marley and his music.

Bryce Dessner, the guitarist of the award-winning rock band The National, discusses his other life in classical music and writing a new concerto for pianist Alice Sara Ott, which is having its UK premiere at the Royal Festival Hall.

This week the liturgical calendar marks the moment when Joseph was warned by an angel of King Herod鈥檚 intent to harm Jesus, and told to flee with him and Mary to safety in Egypt. The painter Julian Bell and art historian Joanna Woodall consider how The Flight into Egypt has been the subject of great artists - Giotto, Gentileschi, Brueghel, Rembrandt - for centuries and shapes our perception of refugees to this day.
