大象传媒

Clemency Burton-Hill presents another programme in this summer series showcasing the talents of the 大象传媒's New Generation Artists.

As part of the 大象传媒's commitment to developing and nurturing young talent, 大象传媒 Radio 3 launched its New Generation Artists scheme in the autumn of 1999. Now well into its second decade, the scheme has acquired the reputation of being a world leader for young artists. Every autumn six to seven artists or groups who are beginning to make a mark on the international music scene are invited to join the scheme, which offers them unique opportunities to develop their considerable talents. These include concerts in London and around the UK, appearances and recordings with the 大象传媒 orchestras, special studio recordings for Radio 3, and, last but not least, appearances at the Proms.

Today the spotlight falls on the French viola player Lise Berthaud, who makes her Proms debut next month with the Walton concerto, and New York-based pianist Zhang Zuo, ahead of her Proms matinee this afternoon with the Ulster Orchestra.
