The 大象传媒 Philharmonic, conducted by Ben Gernon, is joined in Nottingham by Benjamin Grosvenor for Saint-Sa毛ns's sparkling Second Piano Concerto. Tchaikovsky's tuneful and atmospheric First Symphony, 'Winter Daydreams', opens the programme which is rounded off with the energy of Debussy's La Mer; a vivid portrait of the sea in all its various moods and colours.

Followed by music for brass band written by British composers. For more brass band music listen to yesterday's Radio 3 in Concert from the Royal Northern College of Music's Brass Band Festival featuring the Cory Band.
