With Penny Gore. The 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra in a concert of Wagner, Marx and Strauss given at the Barbican. Plus the 大象传媒 Philharmonic in Pierne and the Ulster Orchestra in Bliss.

The 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra begins a week of live and recently recorded music from 大象传媒 performing groups on Afternoon on Three, with a concert given last Saturday at the Barbican under conductor Jir铆 Belohl谩vek.
