Tom is joined by conductor Kirill Karabits

Tom Service is joined by the Ukrainian conductor Kirill Karabits delves into the week's biggest music stories and plays the best classical music for your Saturday morning

Start your weekend with Tom Service, as he plays the best classical music for your Saturday morning.

This morning from 9.30am Tom is joined by the Ukrainian conductor Kirill Karabits. Currently in his final season as Chief Conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra after 15 years together, Kirill speaks about his great love affair with the orchestra and his future plans. And as one of the most high profile Ukrainian classical musicians, he speaks of how he believes music is the only language that can bridge certain divides, and why, despite the conflict, as a musician he's not seeking to cancel the cultural heritage of great music by composers like Prokofiev or Rachmaninov that Ukraine shares with Russia.

Ahead of the Game Music Festival - a series of concerts this weekend between London and Poland - Tom talks to the BAFTA winning composer Borislav Slavov and Sound of Gaming presenter Elle Osili-Wood about the latest creative musical advances in music for games

And after 11am we answer the questions about music you've always wanted to ask - this morning Tom asks "what can we REALLY hear in space?" - Dr Jen Gupta is on hand to answer, via sound vacuums, singing comets and how sound is being used to open up astronomy to wider audiences than ever before. Plus, in the week it once again communicated with Earth, Tom explores the audio riches on board Voyager I floating a mere 24 billion km away
