My favourite... contemporary choral music. Sarah shares a selection of contemporary choral works that are ear catching, innovative and often very beautiful. Sarah has long had a soft spot for this repertoire and throughout the week she seeks out some of her favourite pieces by composers including Gabriel Jackson, Judith Weir, Eriks E拧envalds and Antony Pitts. You'll be signing up to your local choir in no time.

John will be talking music, comedy and wordplay every day at 10am, and sharing a selection of his favourite classical works, including Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen and Mozart's Bassoon Concerto. And on Friday, as part of Radio 3's 70th anniversary celebrations, John and friends will be performing a specially written musical sketch show live in the Radio 3 pop-up studio at Southbank Centre, London.

Music in Time: Baroque
Sarah places Music in Time with a work by one of the biggest stars of the baroque era, Arcangelo Corelli. Today she explores his enthusiasm for the 'sonata da camera', or 'chamber sonata'. Corelli's Trio Sonata Op.2 No.4 in E minor shows off all the form's distinctive qualities - a four-movement structure, imitating lines and a lively dance character.

11am
Sarah's Artist of the Week is the violinist and conductor Andrew Manze, who has been called "the first modern superstar of the baroque violin". Sarah explores some of Manze's finest recordings of works by composers including Biber and J.S. Bach, featuring the two groups with which he's most closely associated, the Academy of Ancient Music and The English Concert. Beyond the baroque, Sarah will also share some of Manze's work as a conductor, including his recent collaboration with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and his recording of the complete cycle of symphonies by Vaughan Williams.
