Afternoon on 3 with Penny Gore.

Another chance to hear Monday night's Prom in which leading West Coast composer-conductor, John Adams launched this year's celebration of young orchestras and choirs as two major music colleges from either side of the Atlantic shared the Royal Albert Hall stage. In a suitably continent-crossing programme Adams conducts them in Respighi's exuberantly cinematic survey of the festivals of Rome, the eternal city, and ends with his own symphonic triptych evoking the mood of 1950s Los Angeles. Ravel's vivacious, blues-tinged concerto elegantly bridges the two worlds.
Presented by Katie Derham.
