Why Music? - Body of Songs Project

BBC Radio 3 - Late Junction, Why Music? - Body of Songs Project

Max Reinhardt and Gemma Cairney present music from the Body of Songs project.

Max Reinhardt and Gemma Cairney present music from the Body of Songs project, including live performance with Mara Carlyle, Afrikan Boy, Ghostpoet and Scrufizzer.

Max Reinhardt presents artists including Ghostpoet, Mara Carlyle with Max de Wardener, Afrikan Boy and Scrufizzer performing original compositions from the Body of Songs project, in this special edition live from The Street at Wellcome Trust. He's joined by Radio 1 DJ Gemma Cairney who curated this innovative project inspired by the organs of the human body, where alternative singer-songwriters explore an organ with the help of experts, to find out how it works and unlock its mysteries and myths. Along the way they ask profound questions about their own lives; about illness and disease, age and suffering. Max will also be speaking to Professor Hugh Montgomery (director of the UCL Institute for Human Health and Performance), who is the expert advisor for this project.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
