大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra

The 大象传媒 SO live in Maida Vale. Barber: Overture (The School for Scandal). Gershwin: Piano Concerto in F. Bernstein: Symphonic Dances (West Side Story). Plus 大象传媒 NOW in George Lloyd.

For the first time ever, Afternoon on 3 has a live concert every day of the week - one by each of the five 大象传媒 Orchestras, playing at their respective homes in Cardiff, Salford, London and Glasgow. An American thread runs throughout the week, as part of Afternoon on 3's celebration of American music this autumn.

Today the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra round off the series with a concert of American favourites live at their home in London's Maida Vale Studio 1, with American conductor Joshua Weilerstein.

Following the concert, Katie Derham presents the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales in concert in Truro just a couple of weeks ago. They join forces with local choir the Three Spires Festival Singers to perform a major choral-orchestral work by Cornish composer George Lloyd, born in St. Ives 100 years ago this year (he died in 1998).
