Martin Handley presents Radio 3's classical breakfast show, featuring listener requests and performances by Canadian artists as part of Radio 3's Canada 150 season.

CANADA 150: a week of programmes from across Canada, marking the 150th anniversary of Canada's birth as a nation. Beginning on Saturday 24th June, and ending as Canada Day dawns on 1st July, Canada 150 explores the range and diversity of Canadian music and arts, focused mainly on late night on Radio 3.

Canada's classical music scene is reflected in contemporary music from Banff in the Rocky Mountains, plus an Early Music Show from Montreal; Francophone and Anglophone traditional folk are represented in a kitchen party from Prince Edward Island; jazz and indigenous music is highlighted in programmes from Calgary and the Six Nations Reserve; and Canada's lively indie music scene is reflected with sets from the CBC's Music Festival in Toronto. Other highlights include a specially-commissioned collaboration representing the cultural links between the UK and Canada, and a feature from UK pianist James Rhodes focusing on a legend of Canadian music, Glenn Gould, complete with an interview with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Plus Canada-themed content across Radio 3, with daily 'Canada Moments' on Breakfast, Canadian guests on In Tune, an exploration of Wilderness on Free Thinking, and a Canada-inspired Words and Music.
