Summer and Music at Paxton

Jamie looks ahead to Music at Paxton this summer and shares classical tracks for long sunny days.

Jamie looks ahead to Music at Paxton festival 2022 and talks with one of this year’s artists Dame Sarah Connolly about her appearance and the Scottish premiere she'll give of a new song cycle by Mark-Anthony Turnage. The life and performances of the late cellist Francoise Groben feature in our Album of the Week titled ‘In Memoriam’. Plus following the summer solstice, Jamie has music for long sunny days.
