“The face of BBC Classical music”

He has authored and conducted the music in films on Mozart, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky and his recent landmark series, The Birth of British Music. He appears regularly on Radio 3’s Discovering Music, conducting the BBC Orchestras through deep-tissue exploration of great orchestral music. He has also hosted The Charles Hazlewood Show on Radio 2 which won him 3 Sony Awards.[/expand]
Charles offers audiences an energetic and articulate speech, drawing from analogies between the workings of an office with that of an orchestra. Both music and business depend on individuals working as part of a whole, in pursuit of a common goal.[/expand]
