Journalist and broadcaster Clemency Burton-Hill announced this weekend that she has been in recovery from a major brain haemorrhage she suffered in January this year caused by a previously undiagnosed condition. She has attributed much of her recovery to music-based therapies.
Burton-Hill is best known for presenting BBC Radio 3's Classical Fix podcast and The Open Ears Project from WNYC Studios. She has also presented television documentaries and written both novels and non-fiction books.
Clemency Burton-Hill has written for BBC Music Magazine since 2017, and remains one of our chief interviewers, alongside James Naughtie, Kate Molleson and Tom Service.
She has previously presented Radio 3's breakfast programmes on both weekdays and weekends. In 2018, she took on the role of creative director of music and arts at WQXR in New York, a leading classical music public radio station.
All of us at BBC Music Magazine wish Clemmie all the best in her recovery.
