1.00pm Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert

Verity Sharp introduces a recital by the brilliant international soloists who make up the Aronowitz Ensemble, members of 大象传媒 Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme. Their programme pairs Faure's first piano quintet, the result of 15 years of reworking, with a late string quintet by Dvorak - which quotes a Native American theme the composer heard during a summer holiday spent with the Czech community in Spillville, Iowa.

Faure: Piano Quintet in D minor, Op 89
Dvorak: Quintet in E flat, Op 9
