大象传媒

This week in Afternoon on 3 the spotlight is on the 大象传媒 Singers. Today's programme begins with one of their highlights from the past year: a concert given as part of a festival of the music of Judith Weir, featuring her own favourite works along with other composers she admires. Then we hear performances from a concert given earlier this month in Chichester by the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra, including Haydn's London Symphony. And to round off the programme we return to the 大象传媒 Singers, joined by one of Radio 3's New Generation Artists, the cellist Nicolas Altstaedt, for music with a Bach Chorale at its centre.

Presented by Katie Derham.
