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 4pm for an 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.
