Calming classical music to help you focus and set you up for the day ahead. Presented by broadcaster, author and counselling psychologist Dr Sian Williams. Featuring relaxing, enriching music from composers including Poulenc, Helen Leach, and Arnold Bax, and a chance to Find Your Focus this morning as composer and pianist Olivia Belli transports us back to Ancient Greece.
