Virtuosic folk & roots from Rhiannon Giddens & Francesco Turrisi

Tom Service introduces the best classical music and the latest stories from the arts world.

Multi-instrumentalists Rhiannon Giddens and Francesco Turrisi bring their folk and roots virtuosity to the Saturday Morning studio with a live session. Writer, broadcaster and cultural historian Flora Willson talks to Tom about her new book 'Operatic Infrastructures', and the Associate Director of the Royal Opera, Netia Jones, is this week's Creator. She tells Tom about her work in bringing together the ancient art form of opera with the most cutting edge technology.

With a playlist of the best classical music in new and landmark recordings - some introduced by the artists themselves - this is the place to spend your Saturday Morning.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Saturday Morning on Radio 3”.
