Music from the Portico arts centre in Portaferry. Finghin Collins (piano) and Armida Quartet in Schumann, plus Sarah-Jane Brandon (soprano) and Gary Matthewman (piano) in Delage.

John Toal introduces the second of four programmes from Northern Ireland's newest arts and heritage centre. Portico, situated in the heart of Portaferry on the Upper Ards Peninsula, is a Grade-A listed Greek Revival Temple which has just undergone a 拢1.5 million restoration. While the building continues to be used by the local Presbyterian congregation, it has now become a resource for the whole community to use.

Today's programme features Irish pianist Finghin Collins, the 2009 winner of the Kathleen Ferrier Competition, soprano Sarah-Jane Brandon, and Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Armida Quartet, in works by Schumann and Maurice Delage.
