To mark World Mental Health Day, Tom Service presents a special programme in collaboration with Professor Sally Marlow, a mental health specialist at King's College London and BBC Radio 3's first ever Researcher in Residence. Composer Gavin Higgins talks to Tom about how his early musical life in brass bands helped him to deal with his symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. We visit Bethlem Gallery to meet composer and artist Gawain Hewitt and Fiona Lambert from City of London Sinfonia's 'Sound Young Minds' project, a music-making programme with young people under the care of psychiatric hospitals. Daisy Fancourt talks about a large-scale study looking at how singing can be used to treat postnatal depression, and James Sanderson from NHS England sets out what he sees as music's role in social prescribing. We explore mental health among musicians with writer, musician and mental health advocate Tabby Kerwin reflecting on the situation in the brass band movement, and James Ainscough from the charity Help Musicians discusses the recent increase in the number of musicians from across the industry seeking help from their new charity Music Minds Matter. Plus we talk to soprano Patricia Auchterlonie, composer Oliver Leith and director Anna Morrissey about their new opera Last Days at the Linbury Theatre and how the mental health and wellbeing of the cast is being supported. And we're in Crook in County Durham to catch up with the community arts organisation Jack Drum Arts, which provides music sessions to help support the mental health of children and young people in the local area.

Welcome to Bittersweet Symphony, a podcast about the bitter, sweet and bittersweet memories and experiences of classical musicians during the pandemic. Hosted and produced by me, Cliodhna Ryan, a violinist, it's an intimate and heart-warming exploration of the human spirit. My guest in episode eleven is Steve Kelly, percussionist with the RTE Concert Orchestra since 2010. He shares his bitter memory of the Guinness Jazz Festival being cancelled, the sweet experience of being able to support his wife as she devoted herself to her art practice and the bittersweet of returning to work. Stephen Kelly is the sub-principal percussionist with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and he has lectured in percussion at the MTU Cork School of Music since 2004. He has performed with the Philharmonia Orchestra, Irish Chamber Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, City of London Sinfonia, Crash Ensemble and many more. Equally as at home driving a big band from behind the drum kit, tinging a triangle in an orchestra or educating future professional percussionists, Stephen manages to make a living playing music, which in his words “certainly beats working.” This interview was recorded in August 2021.

Good Shepherd Sunday & World Day of Prayer for VocationsToday has a triple focus: the 4th Sunday of Easter, Good Shepherd Sunday and the World Day of Prayer for Vocations to the Priesthood and Consecrated Life.That's quite a lot! I hope I help you today to bring those three foci into some focus; excuse the pun! For many the image of Christ as the Good Shepherd is an enduringly appealing image. More so I suppose, because Jesus Himself gave us this image and aspect of His relationship with us. I hope you benefit from what I have to say.The music for today comes from one of my favourite English composers, John Rutter. "The Lord is My Shepherd", which he composed, is sung by the Cambridge Singers and accompanied by the City of London Sinfonia. It is one of the tracks on "The John Rutter Collection". I heartily recommend this album to you, particularly, another track, which stirs my heart every time I hear it: "The Lord Bless You and Keep You".
