Welcome in the evening with calm classical music

Niall Breslin brings you calming classical music to help you release the stresses of the day, recharge and prepare to rest.

Three hours of calming classical music to help you release the stresses of the day, recharge and prepare to rest - presented by Irish musician and mindfulness expert Niall Breslin.

This episode features a rich blend of music from the likes of Schubert, Helen Jane Long and Mozart. Plus, a chance to Press Pause with Michael James Wong and some essential Wind Down Wisdom from science podcaster Caroline Steel on the benefits of non-sleep deep rest.
