麻豆约拍

Nicky Campbell is joined by a high-profile figure from broadcasting, entertainment and public life to share and explore how classical music has soundtracked their worlds as parents, children and caregivers: with a host of arresting, moving and funny stories from both parties along the way.

This week, we hear how the British-Somali writer Nadifa Mohamed has written and re-written her family story to a soundtrack of Prokofiev and Purcell. From childhood images of freedom and escape, to the birth of her nieces as a catalyst for recording her family story, through to the pieces of music that remind her of the extraordinary life of her father and the extraordinary character of her mother.
