Miriam Skinner

Miriam Skinner explores the quirky, peculiar and sometimes surprising connections that link the music tracks in her personal selection.

Miriam Skinner's played the cello in the 成人快手 Philharmonic for nearly 30 years. She says she's spent much of that time driving to concerts around the north west and that she could gauge her life in terms of motorway junctions as much as she could Mahler's symphonies. Her great passion is the city of Manchester - her city. And in this very personal programme she leads us through a selection of music that illustrates the magic of her city, with sometimes surprising musical links with music from Elgar, Cesar Franck, Mozart and the band James.
