Jazz pianist and composer Tom Donald with some musical mischief

Tom Donald opens up a selection of classical music from a pianist and composer’s point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Pianist and composer Tom Donald takes us on a journey inside a range of music choices - revealing his insights into both familiar and unfamiliar works, and discovers C-major hugs, and desert landscape semitones along the way.

Plus a composer whose music can give you hay fever, how to start playing jazz piano, and a musician who squeezes all of the juice from the orange!

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