Welcome to this bonus episode of Turn Up The Volume! With IF:Milton Keynes International Festival starting in the next few days, Nick sat down with the wonderful Roderick Williams to talk about the piece of music he has created for the Festival. It is called Forever? and it marks the 250th anniversary of Amazing Grace, which was written in Olney. With words by Rommi Smith, the piece will premiere at the Festival on July 22nd.

Roderick Williams is one of the world's greatest opera singers. Passionate about accessibility to the arts, and bringing opera to the masses, he has had an amazing year, not least thanks to his major role in the Coronation of King Charles.

In this extended interview, he talks to Nick about the Coronation, about opera and the arts, and of course about Forvever?

He is such a lovely listen, so do sit back and enjoy this bonus episode.
