Clemency Burton-Hill is making a one-off return to broadcasting following her serious brain injury.
The presenter will celebrate female composers, to mark International Women’s Day, while hosting a special episode of BBC Radio 3’s podcast Classical Fix.
The podcast is part of a 24-hour celebration on Monday on the station, during which only music by female composers will be played.
Burton-Hill was at work, aged 39, in New York last year when suddenly her speech started slurring and she collapsed.
R3 Through the Night: six hours of @EBU HQ concerts & recordings every night. Catriona Young starts tonight with Bach, Schubert & Schumann from Riga

Mary Portas IGNORE the photograph. Mary Portas has lost her red bob. Right at the start of her new series Mary Portas: On Style, Portas told us she’s grown it out during the pandemic. Otherwise, little has changed on her Radio 4 series Mary Portas: On Style which returned on Tuesday morning, magazine format intact. Perfume (selling well during lockdown, Portas pointed out), ethical flower-arranging and the appeal of the BBC TV series The Repair Shop were all briskly covered. Which is a pity. Because the result can feel like a series of appetisers in search of a main course.
