In the second of two programmes, singer Victoria Oruwari explores blind or partially sighted performers across the ages.

Blind herself, Victoria reveals how she and other blind musicians encounter, learn and perform music without actually being able to see the notes. Accessibility pioneer Louis Braille was himself an accomplished concert organist and invented a system of musical notation just as ground-breaking as his alphanumerical language

Featuring music from Baluji Shrivastav's Inner Vision Orchestra, Paraorchestra, organist Angella Purll and pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii
