Clarinettist Mariam Adam with musical canaries, croissants and a call to prayer

Clarinettist Mariam Adam reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, including classical music from Mexico and a concerto for jazz quintet.

Clarinettist Mariam Adam explores music inspired by different countries and cultures, including Mexico, Mali, Egypt, Spain and Australia. There鈥檚 also a concerto by Mozart, chamber music full of humour, and a powerful song by Wagner.

She also finds surprising sounds from the clarinet, with Luis Rossi performing on his like a canary, and an instrument from the baroque period which Mariam thinks sounds similar to the clarinet.

Plus, the real story behind one of Dolly Parton鈥檚 most popular songs鈥

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