Composer of the Week is a biographical music programme produced by BBC Cymru Wales and broadcast on BBC Radio 3. It is broadcast daily from Monday to Friday at 16:00 for one hour, with each week's programmes being a self-contained series of five dedicated to a particular composer or a group of related composers.
With the "great composers", weeks dedicated to them tend to focus on a particular aspect of their life or works.
