Fretwork and winners of the National Centre for Early Music Composers Award

Lucie Skeaping presents highlights from a concert given by Fretwork, featuring actor Tom Courtenay and the winners of the Radio 3/NCEM Young Composers' Award.

Lucie Skeaping introduces highlights from a concert given by Fretwork at Kings Place in London last month, featuring actor Sir Tom Courtenay and the winners of the Radio 3/NCEM Young Composers' Award.

Composers under the age of 25 were invited to write a short piece especially for Fretwork and the winning three entries were given their first official performance in this concert.

The other music in the programme reflects the theme of the Winter Solstice through appropriate music and poetry.

Also in this edition of the Early Music Show, Lucie Skeaping announces the details for the 2012 Radio 3/NCEM Young Composers' Award.
