Early Breakfast with Lucy Coward 4am - 6:30am
The stunning South African soprano Pumeza Matshikiza took the Bristol Proms audience on a journey, with songs, poems and questions from conductor Charles Hazlewood.

It was billed as 'a musical conversation' with Charles Hazlewood, and the two delved into some fascinating issues around South Afrcian history (in-between some absolutely stellar singing, obviously). Photo: Samuel Bay
Pumeza even read poetry written by herself and by Maya Angelou. Photo: Samuel Bay
Hazelwood was on hand to steer the small orchestra through highlights from Mozart, Debussy and others. Photo: Samuel Bay
