In Tune

As part of the BBC’s commemoration of World War One, Sean Rafferty is live at Dunham Massey, Cheshire, in association with the National Trust.

Dunham Massey, near Altrincham in Cheshire, was transformed into the Stamford Military Hospital during World War One and, as part of the anniversary commemorations, the National Trust have recreated one of the wartime hospital wards in the property.

In Tune reflects the story of the hospital in wartime through music and conversation. Guests include the pianist David Owen Norris who will perform a selection of music from the time. Sean and his guests will consider the impact that music played then to boost morale, offer solace, and help recuperation.

As part of the BBC’s commemoration of World War One, Radio 3 tells the story of the war through its music, presenting two weeks of programmes that trace the musical experiences of the different sides of the conflict (23 June - 6 July).
