Sarah Walker with a lively musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you鈥檙e doing some spring cleaning or soaking up the sun.

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Today, Sarah gets engrossed in the story of a magic doll in a piece by Elena Kats-Chernin for eight double basses and orchestra, celebrates the timelessness of the Sea Shanty through the voices of The Fisherman鈥檚 Friends, and blows off the cobwebs with the rolling rhythms of Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Piano Concerto No. 3.

She also luxuriates in guitarist Milo拧's languorous version of Here Comes the Sun, and takes comfort in the familiar sound world of Schubert鈥檚 String Quintet.

Plus, choral music that will make you stop what you鈥檙e doing鈥
