Percussionist Calum Huggan with a playlist of groove and grace
Percussionist Calum Huggan reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, including orchestral masterpieces, magical marimba and ethereal music from Anoushka Shankar.
Percussionist Calum Huggan creates a playlist that takes in music from around the world. A melody by renaissance composer John Dowland is reworked for the marimba by Japanese composer Keiko Abe, Ayanna Witter-Johnson arranges the famous Police track Roxanne, Anoushka Shankar and Manu Delago create a transportive soundscape for sitar and handpan and there鈥檚 an energetic fusion of cello and overtone singing courtesy of Abel Selaocoe.
Calum also chooses a selection of colourful orchestral works by composers including Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Debussy, Vivaldi and Arnold Bax.
Plus, find out how sandpaper blocks are used to create a meditative groove鈥�
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
