Presented by Penny Gore.
Live at 2pm we join the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra and conductor Barry Wordsworth at Cadogan Hall in London for a concert of British music, as part of Afternoon on 3's continuing focus of homegrown music and performers. The concert begins with Holst - his ballet music from the opera The Perfect Fool - and ends with the Fifth Symphony by Holst's close friend Vaughan Williams, written in the darkest days of the Second World War and premiered in 1943.
Between these, the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra give the world premiere performance of a piece by Jonathan Dove - Portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize winner and Burmese opposition politician.
