The best programmes and music we’ve got coming up on Classic FM this week, beginning 22 July.

Welcome to Classic FM’s More Music Summer! Throughout July and August, we’re playing plenty of bright, summery music whatever the weather is doing – and we’ll be playing more of it, too. If you’re looking for an escape from the noise, join us for even more glorious summertime music.

Every evening from Sunday to Thursday, Zeb Soanes invites you to join him for a Summer Sofa Concert – the chance to enjoy the excitement and magic of a concert hall from the comfort of your living room. Join him from 8pm for 60 minutes of glorious music.

Plus, join Dan Walker and Karthi Gnanasegaram this Friday at 9pm for Perfect Pitch. With the launch of The Open and the Paris Olympics on the horizon, Classic FM celebrates the ‘summer of sport’ in music. Dan and Karthi are celebrating the classical music that has soundtracked sports most iconic moments and inspired our nation’s famous sport stars.

If there’s other music you’d love to hear this week, remember you can always ask for it on Classic FM Requests with Anne-Marie Minhall, from 1-2pm. Get in touch here, text 61812, or ask your Alexa to ‘send a request to Classic FM’. You can also send a request via WhatsApp on 03457 49 1812.
