Fans of Brian Kay's old Thursday afternoon programme of light music should enjoy R3's summer treat:
BBC Radio 3 and BBC Performing Groups, in partnership with Southbank Centre and John Wilson as Artistic Advisor, present Light Fantastic – a nationwide festival of light music , beautifully crafted musical gems by a host of British composers and arrangers.
The BBC's nationwide events culminate in a weekend as part of Southbank Centre's Festival of Britain celebrations, from 24-27th June. Light music, with its evocation of the British landscape, seaside holidays and tea dances, is an important part of our national musical history and culture and will be performed across the country in June through a series of specially-staged live concerts featuring the BBC Performing Groups.
