Tom meets composer Caroline Shaw

Tom Service chats to composer Caroline Shaw who plays live with So Percussion and plays the perfect classical soundtrack for Saturday morning.

Tom Service chats to composer Caroline Shaw and the players of percussion supergroup So Percussion. Plus we've got the perfect classical soundtrack for Saturday morning, from well-known classics to musical gems and a few surprises.

American composer, singer and producer Caroline Shaw is one of the most exciting musical voices out there today. She was the youngest ever winner of the Pulitzer Prize and has won various Grammys for her music. She's a musical shapeshifter who moves between different worlds and roles whether it's choral music, film scoring, contemporary classical or songwriting. Musical collaboration is key to everything she does, whether it's with Roomful of Teeth or Anne Sofie von Otter, her pop duo Ringdown or her ongoing project with the glittering sounds of So Percussion.

Their music together is a glorious and genre-defying mix of eclectic sounds and inspirations, so anything could happen in the studio as Caroline and So Percussion join Tom to perform live and talk about the joy of making music together.
