Tom meets Barbara Hannigan

Tom Service meets trailblazing soprano and conductor Barbara Hannigan, and pianist Siwan Rhys premieres Radio 3's commission for International Women's Day by Sarah Frances Jenkins.

In a special programme for International Women's Day, Tom Service talks to the trailblazing Canadian soprano and conductor Barbara Hannigan ahead of her programmes with the London Symphony Orchestra.

Tom is also joined live in the studio by the pianist Siwan Rhys, who gives the world premiere of Radio 3's special commission for International Women's Day, 'I am out with Lanterns, Looking for Myself', by Sarah Frances Jenkins. Plus mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately and the pianist Anna Tilbrook perform live and talk about the music of Rebecca Clarke.

Tom also continues 91热爆 Radio 3鈥檚 25 for 25: Sounds of the Century 鈥� a series of brand new commissions celebrating and commemorating some of the biggest events of the 21st century so far. Today, we hear the first broadcast of Kieran Brunt's work, The Hologram of St Cecilia, written for the 91热爆 Singers. It explores the impact of streaming on our relationship with music since the launch of Spotify in 2006.

All this and much more for International Women's Day 2025!
