A special seventh edition of Moving Notes, as Jenn and Ben chat about how music brings us together and the emotion generated from all kinds of musical reinvention.

The pair explore Joanna Forbes L’Estrange’s work, A Season to Sing (a choral reimagining of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons). Joanna chat’s with Jenn about life in music and this work that's taking the world by storm, and Jenn and Ben get right to the heart of Eurovision… what it means on the night for the artists taking part, and where that journey can lead.

Jenn shares a few of her own predictions for Eurovision 2026, as well as some of the songs to check out from previous years, and we hear from Cheryl Baker, part of UK winning legends, Bucks Fizz.

Ben and Jenn chat more about the ways in which we listen to and experience music, the emotion it brings, and there may be mention of headdresses and hats with ears… but you’ll have to listen to discover what that’s all about!

Your emails are shared too, and Ben chats more about a very special piece of music that he brought a new direction to.

Plus, don’t miss a very special Eurovision edition of musical Guilty Pleasures!

Happy listening!

This episode is a real feast of topics… from setting an improvisation challenge for comedians Paul Merton and Suki Webster, to talking together about showing emotion, and about how music can support you through sadness.

Jenna catches up with conductor. composer, founder of The Gesualdo Six, and incredible musician, Owain Park. Owain is soon to become Chief Conductor of the BBC Singers, so we get his reaction to that, as well as much more about Owain’s life in music, moving moments, and his musical guilty pleasures! 🎶

And on that note, Ben and Jenn chat about their own ones, related to food! There are some cracking lyrics in their choices, so definitely don’t miss that.

The duo also share some of your emails and ask the question, “Is there anything better than a laugh, a cry and a cup of tea, whilst chatting about music”? I think we all know the answer to that! 🎶
