Monday - Sean Rafferty

With two-time British Composer Award winner Tarik O'Regan and live performance by the young Russian violinist, Alina Pogostkina accompanied by Diana Ketler.

Sean Rafferty presents Radio 3's drivetime programme with guests, live performance, great music and the latest arts news. Today, the gifted Russian violinist Alina Pogostkina plays live in the studio on a violin by Antonio Stradivari made in Cremona in 1709, ahead of concerts with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra as soloist in Dvorak's Violin Concerto.

Two-time British Composer Award winner Tarik O'Regan joins Sean in the studio prior to the world premiere of 'Heart of Darkness', his chamber opera based on Joseph Conrad's novel of the same name, at the Royal Opera House Linbury Theatre. Tarik has acquired an enviable reputation for his lyrical style, luminous textures and intense vocal expressiveness.
