Verity Sharp introduces recent concert performances by the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales, including Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man, and Beethoven's Symphony No 7.

大象传媒 NOW marks the 70th birthday of Karl Jenkins with a performance of the Swansea-born composer's 'mass for peace', The Armed Man. The work, first performed in 2000, is inspired by religious and spiritual writings from across the world and describes the horrors of war as well as offering the hope of peace. Jenkins' Euphonium Concerto is performed by the instrument's tireless champion, David Childs, who commissioned the work. The programme begins with an arresting performance of Beethoven's Symphony No 7, with Conductor Laureate Tadaaki Otaka on the platform.
