This week presenter Nicola Christie meets Gwilym Simcock. The pianist talks about writing and performing his first orchestral composition at the Proms and plays an extract from the classic jazz piece Autumn Leaves.

Times clubs editor Ed Potton swaps the dance floor for Stockhausen Day and is surprised to find audience members sleeping and reading their way through the performance.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra's senior librarian, Moira Webber, talks to Nicola about getting the right music to the right people at the right time, and what it means to be charged with protecting sheets of music once used by Elgar.

You can also hear Times chief culture writer Richard Morrison's tips for the week ahead and listen to the world premiere of Cimeon Ellerton's Orpheus.
