Tom McKinney presents Radio 3鈥檚 Breakfast show live from Salford, including 蜜芽传媒 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. This week, composer and saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi鈥檚 new work for New Generation Artists the Kleio Quartet is a homage to the remarkable resurgence of the humpback whale which came back from near extinction to record sightings in 2021. It seeks to echo the whales' hauntingly beautiful melodies, celebrating their survival and the enduring mystery of their song.
