In the first of two programmes, singer Victoria Oruwari invites us to explore blind composers and how it is possible for a blind or partially sighted musician to commit notes to paper

Victoria looks at composers from the past, including Bach and Delius, and from the present. When a composer cannot see the notes they are writing, what have been the challenges and what are the solutions? How has technology helped? How can a blind composer connect with performers and audiences?

Featuring music by Rodrigo, Delius and Stevie Wonder
