Sunday - Ian Skelly

Ian Skelly presents Radio 3's breakfast show, with festive music and surprises. Including the 大象传媒 Singers with specially recorded carols and the Breakfast Advent Calendar.

Ian Skelly presents Radio 3's classical breakfast show.

As December progresses, plenty of festival music and surprises.

From 15th December, the 大象传媒 Singers will be specially recording carols - some of them requested by our listeners.

There's the Breakfast Advent Calendar - opening a door every day to reveal winter music and readings chosen by listeners and presenters.

Closer to Christmas, listeners will have the chance to send a Breakfast Christmas Card by requesting a piece of music and dedicating it to a friend.

And in Your Call where we hear from our audience about their favourite pieces of music, there's the chance to introduce a favourite piece of music to the rest of the UK. In the run up to Christmas we'll be hearing about music that reminds listeners of the festive season.
