Claire Wickes and Segun Akinola launch a brand new series

Composer Segun Akinola and flautist Claire Wickes kick off a brand new series with Anna and Jeffrey, starting with a huge international hit from last year.

To launch the brand new series, flautist Claire Wickes and composer Segun Akinola join Jeffrey and Anna to add the first five tracks to the new playlist. They'll be taking us from a massive Spanish crossover hit from last year to an unlikely symphony written to celebrate - and played on - 1500 broken instruments, via Mike Oldfield and Sylvester Stallone.

Producer Jerome Weatherald
Presented with musical direction by Jeffrey Boakye and Anna Phoebe

Berghain by Rosal铆a
Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten by Arvo P盲rt
