“I love a good film soundtrack and you can’t go wrong with John Williams’ fantastic music from Star Wars. It’s always a treat playing the big movie moments on Classic FM Breakfast and I know that they’ll sound spectacular performed by our friends at the Orchestra of Opera North. Bring on the brass section! There is something magical that happens when you hear movie scores played by a live orchestra so go and enjoy it if you can.”
