BROADCASTS

Radio Wey: Helen's Classical Journey, launched March 2020 onwards
​
This show explores a wide range of classical music for film, TV, concert hall, ballet, video games and beyond. It aims to develop a diverse and inclusive approach by ensuring to integrate composers from a range of backgrounds and cultures, showcasing music which has been under-represented in programming to date, including music by Women and music by Black composers, amongst others. The programming attempts to include also a range of performers, and includes both new releases and historical recordings.
​
Each episode includes a meditative moment of the week, suitable for the core listeners at Radio Wey.

Other broadcasts have been done for ABC Radio in Australia, among others, and contributions to the monthly podcast series of Aldworth Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Local Radio.
