Calming classical music to help you focus and set you up for the day ahead. Presented by broadcaster, author and counselling psychologist Dr Sian Williams. Featuring beautifully gentle and enriching pieces from composers including Beethoven, Strauss, and Alma Mahler, and a chance to Find Your Focus with the intimate music of composer Koshun Nakao. Sian Takes a Breath and muses on the joy of being surprised by nature after being woken by soulful birdsong, and Professor Catherine Loveday explores a study which shows that arts and cultural engagement can slow down the pace of ageing.
