Sarah Walker with guest Nick Ahad

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning and at 10.30am asks her guest Nick Ahad to join her for a monthly arts roundup.

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, and puts a musical spin on events.

In today鈥檚 programme, we venture into outer space with composer John White, visit a lake in the mountains as imagined by Vaughan Williams, and journey all the way back to the fifteenth century for some serene vocal music by Johannes Ockeghem. There鈥檚 also a violin concerto from a composer whose fencing skills paved the way for his musical career, Chevalier de Saint Georges, and a special recording from UK folk group Boldwood. Dancing shoes on.

At 10.30am Sarah invites arts broadcaster Nick Ahad to join her for the Sunday Morning monthly arts roundup, focussing on five cultural happenings around the UK, from film, theatre and visual art, to dance and TV - including the rediscovery of a classic 大象传媒 Arts documentary available on iPlayer.
