BACKSingers Jorja Smith and Celeste to host new series for BBC Radio 3 celebrating ‘comforting’ music
BBC Radio 3 is launching two new ‘mood-led’ series from Brit Award-winning singer-songwriters Jorja Smith and Celeste.
The first series, ‘Tearjerker with Jorja Smith’, begins this Saturday, followed by ‘Downtime Symphony with Celeste’ the week after.
Grammy-nominated Jorja Smith’s programme is centred around the concept of having a safe space to listen to music and shed a tear. Each week, she will explore the healing powers of melancholic music, spanning all genres from Beethoven to James Blake.
Aucune date évoquée pour la réouverture des lieux culturels
Dans sa conférence de presse ce soir, le Premier ministre a reconnu qu’il est actuellement difficile de donner des perspectives quant à la réouverture des établissements fermés, il prend l’engagement du maintien des dispositifs de soutien aussi longtemps que cela sera nécessaire.
Sans surprise, la ministre de la Culture confirme que les lieux culturels resteront donc fermés au public jusqu’à nouvel ordre étant donné la gravité du contexte épidémique actuel, qui oblige à un couvre-feu national à 18h.
Mme Bachelot rappelle que la majorité des pays européens ont fermé leurs lieux culturels et que ceux qui les ont gardés ouverts « se comptent sur les doigts d’une main », comme le Portugal qui se reconfine cependant ce soir pour un mois.
No date mentioned for the reopening of cultural venues
In his press conference this evening, the Prime Minister acknowledged that it is currently difficult to provide any prospects for the reopening of the closed establishments, and pledged to maintain the support arrangements for as long as necessary.
Unsurprisingly, the Minister of Culture confirms that cultural venues will therefore remain closed to the public until further notice given the seriousness of the current epidemic climate, which requires a national curfew at 6pm.
Ms Bachelot recalled that the majority of European countries have closed their cultural venues and that those who have kept them open “can be counted on the fingers of one hand”, like Portugal, which is re-confining itself tonight for a month.
