KBJ client Alexander Dragonetti is joining Classic FM to host a new five-part series, starting on Friday 14 March at 9pm.
In Trust Me, It’s A Classic, Alexander will celebrate some of the biggest and most famous pieces of classical music, alongside music which means the most to him personally.
The series will be broadcast every Friday from 9pm to 10pm on Classic FM and Global Player, where the series will also be available on catch up.
Across the series, Alexander will play his favourite classical music pieces and reveal why they are special to him. They include Beethoven’s Symphony No.7, which Alexander first heard while at university, a recording by classical singer Fatma Said that reminds him of his time spent as a diplomat in the Middle East, and Le Onde by Ludovico Einaudi, which helped him following the death of his younger brother.
Alexander Dragonetti said: “I’m a big fan of Classic FM – so it’s an honour to be part of such an iconic station. I love how it makes classical music so accessible, including people like me who are still learning! There’s a saying that ‘music isn’t meant to be heard – it’s meant to be felt’. I’d like to share the music that really makes me feel – happiness, joy, sadness, reflection – and see if it does the same for you.
“Come join me on a journey to explore these and many more pieces I don’t yet know – discovering the music, the people that wrote it, and the emotions they create.”
