The best programmes and music we’ve got coming up on Classic FM in the week of 5 June.

Classic FM’s Summer Full of Music

As the weather begins to get brighter and warmer, we’re ringing in Classic FM’s Summer Full of Music. From dawn to dusk, every day on Classic FM is jam-packed with even more of the sunniest melodies and uplifting music to complement the season.

The brilliant music continues throughout the weekend, as Alan Titchmarsh provides the perfect Saturday morning soundtrack, through to Moira Stuart’s Hall of Fame Concert that evening.

Plus, on Saturday Night at the Movies, Jonathan Ross puts on his time traveller’s hat to explore the music from period dramas to futuristic dystopias.
