Violinist Maren Bosma with some rare musical finds

Maren Bosma opens up a selection of music from a violinist’s point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Violinist Maren Bosma presents a wide-ranging programme including a trio by Bartok that starts like a famous piece by Saint-Saens, and a virtuosic duo featuring the unlikely pairing of piano and mandolin.

She also discovers the charms of Ethel Smyth’s Serenade for orchestra, music by a Russian she believes to be one of the most intimate of composers, and jazz that classical musicians can perform without embarrassment!

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
