John Toal introduces the last of four programmes performed by 大象传媒 Radio 3 New Generation Artists, past and present, at Portico - one of Northern Ireland's newest arts and heritage centres. Situated in the heart of Portaferry, on the Upper Ards Peninsula, Portico is a Grade-A listed Greek Revival Temple which opened in 2016, having 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 works by Mendelssohn and Weinberg performed by 大象传媒 Radio 3 New Generation Artists, the Calidore String Quartet and Annelien Van Wauwe. Annelien is accompanied by Pavel Kolesnikov who graduated from the scheme last year.
