Classic FM has signed Alexander Dragonetti, who appeared the most recent series of The Traitors, to host a new five-part series.
In Trust Me, It’s A Classic, Alexander will play his favourite classical music pieces and reveal why they are special to him. The new series starts this Friday, 14th March from 9pm – 10pm.
Alexander Dragonetti said: “I’m a big fan of Classic FM – so it’s an honour to be part of such an iconic station. I love how it makes classical music so accessible, including people like me who are still learning!
“There’s a saying that ‘music isn’t meant to be heard – it’s meant to be felt’. I’d like to share the music that really makes me feel – happiness, joy, sadness, reflection – and see if it does the same for you.
“Come join me on a journey to explore these and many more pieces I don’t yet know – discovering the music, the people that wrote it, and the emotions they create.”
Philip Noyce, Classic FM’s Managing Editor, added: “He’s just starred in one of the biggest TV programmes, so we’re really excited to welcome Alexander to the Classic FM family as the host of our new Friday night series.
“His passion for classical music is infectious, so it’s great that he’s sharing his most faithful classics with our listeners over the next five weeks and telling us why we can put our trust in them.”
