With Katie Derham. Grainger: Marching Song of Democracy. Beethoven: Piano Concerto No 4 (with Marc-Andre Hamelin). Dvorak: Cello Concerto (Jian Wang). Shostakovich: Symphony No 10.

Katie Derham presents a week of performances from orchestras from Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

In November 2013 Vladimir Ashkenazy stood down as Principal Conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and throughout the week we feature performances from his last 12 months in charge, including Shostakovich's 10th Symphony today, Sibelius's Lemminkainen Suite tomorrow (Tuesday) and Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony on Friday.

Meanwhile, Sir Andrew Davis took over as Principal Conductor of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in January 2013, and we can hear them too across the week.

From Canada, the period instruments of Les Violons du Roi and Marc-Andr茅 Hamelin come together to perform the last 3 Piano Concertos by Beethoven in a concert from last summer.
