Sharp practice
She's presented a huge variety of music on Radio 3 and BBC4, but now Verity Sharp makes her debut a a live TV presenter on Proms On Four:Elgar's Third Symphony (7.30pm BBC4). "It's daunting in the way that anything new is, but I love doing live radio and I'm hoping it'll be a buzz," she says.

Tonight's programme, featuring three English composers (out of four), ties in with this year's English theme. "It's a great prom to start with because I've just taken up the fiddle and I'm learning to play English traditional music."

Sharp, a one-time cellist, joined Radio 3 in 1992 in preference to becoming a professional musician. "You can't take a cello around with you and start playing in a pub," says Sharp. "With a fiddle you can meet people and simply play tunes together."
