Viola player Jennifer Stumm with itinerant tales

Jennifer Stumm opens up a selection of music from her point of view as a viola player - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

American viola player Jennifer Stumm shares a range of musical choices exploring how voices, stories and music travel across continents, from improvisations on the music of Antonio Vivaldi to a surprising reinvention of a movement from a cello suite by JS Bach.

She also celebrates powerful stories performed by female voices including Elizabeth Schwarzkopf, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, Nina Simone and Dolly Parton.

Plus a piece from Colombia written to protect the performers’ cultural heritage.

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
