William T Horton’s “The Path to the Moon” is a monochrome image of a ridge winding through space, with vertiginous drops on either side. It’s the inspiration for a programme that has its own potent atmosphere, on one hand evoking risk and striving and on the other, the beguilement of moonlight.

Winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year, Laura van der Heijden’s extraordinary cello playing is matched by her imaginative and eclectic programming.
