Colin Currie, Ludus Baroque, Mary Bevan, Katya Apekisheva

Including live performances from percussionist Colin Currie, Ludus Baroque and soprano Mary Bevan, and pianist Katya Apekisheva. Plus A to Z of the Piano: N for novels.

Sean Rafferty's guests include British percussionist Colin Currie, as he prepares for the world premiere of Julia Wolfe's riSE and fLY with the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra - bringing 'the street' into the orchestra with body percussion, chain gang tunes and a battery of street percussion, in a dramatically rhythmic and emotional work.

There's live performance from Ludus Baroque with soprano Mary Bevan, who are dropping in ahead of the launch of the St Andrews Voices festival, and pianist Katya Apekisheva who will shortly give a masterclass at the Guildhall.

Also today, In Tune's A to Z of the Piano, part of the Piano Season on the 大象传媒, continues with N for Novels - exploring the piano's starring role in literature from Jane Austen to Alan Hollinghurst. The series of bite-sized features includes contributions from many of the world's greatest pianists, and provides context, history and background information - both in-depth and quirky - broadcast in daily instalments on In Tune at 5.30pm and available to download as a podcast.

Main headlines are at 5pm and 6pm.
