大象传媒

Katie Derham makes a lightning fast tour around four of the 大象传媒's Orchestras - from Ulster, Wales, Scotland and England - to conclude her week celebrating the music of Benjamin Britten in his centenary year, and launching a month-long series of British symphonies in Afternoon on 3.

Every Friday in June Afternoon on 3 will feature a symphony by a living British composer: today it's John McCabe. You can hear two works by Britten, plus music by his Polish-born contemporary Andrzej Panufnik, Mozart and Dvorak.
