Your Call

At the end of the Proms Season Radio 3 Breakfast starts at the earlier time of 6:30am. Petroc Trelawny and Sara Mohr-Pietsch will be waking up the country with all you need to start your day.

There'll be the best in classical music in the finest performances, the latest BBC News, and a special new feature called Your Call.

Your Call is your chance to tell us about what a particular piece of music means to you and why. It could be a piece that evokes strong memories of childhood, or reminds you of long lost friends, or perhaps a piece you associate with a particular time in your life.

Whatever the piece is and whatever it means to you – good or bad, happy or sad, we want to know about it, and you’ll have your chance to appear on the phone on the Breakfast Show and hear your piece played.

So to tell us about the music that means the most to you: e-mail us at 3breakfast@bbc.co.uk, write to Radio 3 Breakfast, Broadcasting House, London W1A 1AA or get in touch via the Radio 3 Facebook page.

The Specialist Classical Chart

The Specialist Classical Chart is announced during the Monday editions of In Tune, with music selected from the Chart played in Breakfast at 8am on Tuesdays.

Coming up
