BGR goes classical
Described as a musical diary of (Joss) Naylor’s memories the Salford-based BBC Philharmonic orchestra will perform Running in the Clouds by Maurizio Malagnini, at a world premiere in Kendal early next year…
The concert takes place on the 14th of January, aimed at celebrating the Bob Graham Round, and kindling the emotions and mental imagery that the Round produces for those who tackle its 42 peaks and 74 miles, to be completed in 24 hours.

Malagnini says:
It portrays the intimate relationship between the runner and his environment. The music takes us through the most energetic and heroic moments of the ascent. It culminates in the final movement, A View from Yewbarrow. Here, Joss is lost in the mist until the wind blows away a cloud and uncovers an incredible view from the summit.
Running in the Clouds will be broadcast live on BBC Radio Cumbria on 14 January and recorded for later transmission on Radio 3.
