    Key Changes: Radio 3's Essential History of Classical Music

    1727, Cremona. Master craftsman Stradivari examines his latest creation: a perfect violin.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch introduces the best classical music and stories from the arts world. Sara chats to the Grammy Award-winning vocalist and composer Cécile McLorin Salvant about her life in music and her new album of jazz standards "With Every Breath I Take", featuring the Metropole Orkest conducted by Jules Buckley. And players from the Sphinx Organisation in the US visit the studio to perform music by Florence Price and Ralph Vaughan Williams. They talk to Sara about how being part of Sphinx has shaped their musical paths. To listen on most smart speakers, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Saturday Morning”.
