Classical Kids

Sunday mornings start early when you're young. From Sunday October 2nd at 7am, the early risers in your house can wake up to a programme of the world's best classical music, made just for them!

This Autumn, RTÉ Junior's Classical Kids is visiting RTÉ lyric fm for eight weeks. Presented by Ian McGlynn, Classical Kids is a fun introduction to composers, musicians and instruments just for younger listeners - and maybe some grownups too! So whether you're hankering for Harry Potter, buzzing over Flight of the Bumblebee or raving about Rhapsody in Blue, this is the show for you!
