So, Brexit happened. On Friday 24th June, in the wake of our departure from the European Union, musicians from the UK and Europe descended on London’s Trafalgar Square to express their solidarity with Europe by playing Beethoven’s ‘Ode to Joy’, the hymn of the EU. I was there to capture the performance and the opinions; this is a short documentary.

The Cambridge Summer Music Festival (15th-30th July) is upon us! To guide us through this year's programme I was joined by the festival's director, John McMunn. John shares some of his personal highlights and what it takes to put on a city-wide festival of this kind, almost single-handedly! He also shares some of favourite music, including a piece he sang as a child at the San Francisco Opera.
