BBC Singers and BBC Concert Orchestra

Penny Gore presents choral music for relaxation and calm from the BBC Singers, and actor Simon Callow joins the BBC Concert Orchestra in The Tempest with music by Arthur Sullivan.

Penny Gore presents a Mindfulness Moment with the BBC Singers – with thoughts on choral music from young musicians, conductors and composers; new CD releases from the BBC Concert Orchestra, including Anton Simon's Piano Concerto in A flat; and looking ahead to Thursday's opera matinee in which we'll hear Gilbert without Sullivan, we have Sullivan without Gilbert! Actor Simon Callow joins the orchestra for The Tempest with incidental music by Arthur Sullivan.
