As we look ahead to the reopening of concert halls, theatres and live music venues on May 17th, Scala Radio celebrates the live music experience with some special programmes.

We've dedicated Bank Holiday Monday to live recordings and performances of some of our favourite orchestras and artists from up and down the UK. Hear Live Music Monday in association with Help Musicians UK from 10am on Monday 3 May.
