Tom Service with organist James McVinnie and composer Anna Clyne

Tom Service has the perfect classical soundtrack to start your weekend! Organist James McVinnie and composer Anna Clyne pop in to talk about their latest projects.

Tom Service with guests, stories and the perfect classical soundtrack to start your weekend!

Organist James McVinnie pops into the studio to put the studio piano through its paces. James is one of the most innovative and thoughtful keyboardists out there. He's equally at home collaborating on new performances of music by Philip Glass, commissioning experimental and electronic composers to write new work for the organ, or performing keyboard music by Bach on both the piano and organ. Imagination is key to everything he does, and he chats to Tom about his new album Dreamcatcher, an intimate sequence of contemporary classical music all around the idea of imagining.

Everyone says music is good for us, but does science back it up? The neuroscientist Daniel Levitin chats about his new book 'Music as Medicine' that breaks down the powers of music, showing us how and why it is one of the most potent therapies today. Plus Dr Michelle Philips from the Royal Northern College of Music tells us about a concert that puts that research into practice with people living with Parkinson's.

Plus the launch of 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio 3鈥檚 25 for 25: Sounds of the Century 鈥� a series of brand new commissions celebrating and commemorating some of the biggest events of the 21st century so far. Composer Anna Clyne launches the series with a fanfare recalling the arrival of the new millennium in her orchestral work for the 麻豆官网首页入口 Philharmonic, The Eye.
