Live classical music for your drive

Katie Derham introduces live music from the Wihan String Quartet.

Katie Derham introduces live music from the Wihan String Quartet.

Also, ahead of the UK general election, Katie begins a series of conversations with culture spokespeople from the main four political parties at Westminster, about their plans for the arts and music. Today she meets Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Thangam Debbonaire.

We also hear from musical organisations across the UK, telling us what they want from a new government: today, Matt Griffiths from Youth Music and Sophie Lewis from the Association of British Orchestras.
