Part 5: Yshani Perinpanayagam

Yshani tracks the connections between five pieces from a range of musical genres and eras.

Yshani Perinpanayagam tracks the connections between five pieces from a range of musical genres and eras.

A new voice to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3, Yshani is a composer, pianist and music director.

"I was never really introduced to music in terms of genres or categories. When I was very little, my dad made me a mix tape which I remember had Mozart, Teddy Bear's Picnic and Bohemian Rhapsody in a row. So, Sounds Connected really is my ideal playtime - a gallivant across the entire canon, stretching my leaping legs as far as I can. I love the places to which lateral thinking can take you, leading you to new discoveries, or pointing a new angle-poise at the very familiar."

The starting point for Yshani's journey in this episode is a romantic piano piece by Fanny Mendelssohn.

This programme contains racial language within a historical context.
