Sarah Walker with guest Nick Ahad

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music and at 10.30am is joined by her guest Nick Ahad for a monthly arts roundup of events and activities.

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

Sarah’s choices today range from an exhilarating and inventive piano sonata by Beethoven to a piece for orchestra by radio’s ‘Uncle Eric’ based on a gentle Norwegian song.

Plus spirited music for a recorder quartet, Handel’s most famous coronation anthem, and the evergreen Bach double violin concerto.

At 10.30am Sarah invites broadcaster and writer Nick Ahad to join her for the Sunday Morning monthly arts roundup, focusing on five cultural happenings that you can catch either online or perhaps even in person during December.
