Penny Gore presents a concert given by the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra. Britten: Sinfonia da Requiem. Sibelius: Twelfth Night. Plus the 大象传媒 CO in Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker (Act 1).

Penny Gore presents a week celebrating the 大象传媒's own performing groups in concert across the nation, featuring music by Tchaikovsky every day.

The 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, recorded in concert at the Barbican in London on Saturday evening, start the week by juxtaposing Sibelius's exotic Belshazzar's Feast with Walton's more famous version. The conductor is Edward Gardner and the baritone soloist Gerald Finley, who also sings three of Sibelius's most dramatic songs.

Then it's the turn of the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra, who've been invited by their Conductor Laureate Barry Wordsworth - also Music Director of the Royal Ballet - to be guest orchestra at Covent Garden in Tchaikovsky festive ballet The Nutcracker.
