Monday - Petroc's classical commute

Petroc Trelawny presents Radio 3's classical breakfast show, including music chosen by 'Take Five' artist Mark Simpson. Email 3breakfast@bbc.co.uk

Petroc Trelawny presents Radio 3's classical breakfast show. Including music chosen by Mark Simpson, one of our Take Five young musicians. Each day this week, in the Take Five season, we’re exploring the music world through the eyes, ears, hearts and minds of five stunning young performers. Today, the young, brilliant performer is the clarinettist and composer Mark Simpson, one of the most exciting young musicians in the country. He’s sought after as a leading clarinet soloist (the instrument he performs on all over the world) and he is recognised as a prodigiously talented and thrilling composer. Mark is a former Radio 3 New Generation Artist. We are going to be getting to know Mark a bit better today as he will be appearing on Radio 3 programmes throughout the day
