Birmingham Contemporary Music Group Chamber Players

As part of the Music Nation weekend, the BCMG Chamber Players perform music by Ades, Woolrich and Birtwistle, plus Knussen's reworking of Purcell and Aldo Clementi.

A 大象传媒-led weekend of over 100 live music events across the UK - from Cornwall to the Shetland Isles and Belfast to Birmingham - launching the nationwide countdown to the London 2012 Festival.

Radio 3 celebrates live music-making all weekend, handing on the baton from concert to concert, featuring a wide range of professional and amateur events and talking to the people who've made it all happen. Presented by Andrew McGregor and Suzy Klein.

Ivan Hewett introduces the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group Chamber Players at the CBSO Centre in Birmingham, with a colourful programme of British and Italian chamber music gems from the last 30 years. Everything from Thomas Ades to John Woolrich via Harrison Birtwistle, Oliver Knussen reworking of Purcell, and a Berceuse by Aldo Clementi - who died exactly a year ago today.
