Good morning to Radio 3 Breakfasters. Enjoying @andrew-peach.bsky.social’s musical choices this morning - and it’s always good to meet a fellow Archers fan. West Side Story music on now!

The Christmas Lectures, supported by CGI, are starting TONIGHT! We couldn't wait either, so here is a little sneak peek of what's to come... 🎁
Tune in at 7.00pm on BBC Four and iPlayer to follow Maggie Aderin-Pocock on a fantastic voyage through space, searching for evidence of alien life.

Good morning to @tommckinney.bsky.social and Radio3 Breakfasters. A gentle day ahead for us, when nothing needs to be achieved but there’s much to enjoy, including music. Hope Tom enjoys his well-deserved rest next week.

Happy Christmas and Good Morning to @tommckinney.bsky.social and Radio 3 Breakfasters. Thanks for working on Christmas Day, Tom. We’ve had a lie-in before heading off to church again but it all sounds very festive.

Good morning to Radio 3 Breakfasters. @tommckinney.bsky.social is playing very festive music this morning and curating a conversation about sprouts at the same time. Great multitaskers are our presenters!

Good morning! What? Oh the hat- yes I managed to poke my antlers through it.
Festive numbers meet sublime moments on @bbcradio3 this morning as we set up your last Saturday before next week’s festivities. And my early Christmas gift: a complete concerto in Bach before 7.

Good morning to @tommckinney.bsky.social and Radio 3 Breakfasters. Hoping Joglaresa will feature on the menu sometime before Christmas. We enjoyed two performances by them yesterday, the first one a live-stream broadcast to local schools.

Good morning to @tommckinney.bsky.social and Radio 3 Breakfasters. Tom may have too much else to focus on or be having another break from social media but he’s still playing music, so that’s a bonus.

Breakfast on bbcradio3 to start your week. Sibelius was born on 8 December 1865, and today is Finland's annual Day of Music, so we'll treat you to Sibelius's 5th Symphony. Bach Before 7 is a great new album from Solomon's Knot and there's a Wren for the dawn chorus 📻
