大象传媒 Concert Orchestra joins the Nu Civilisation Orchestra in music by Ellington. Plus cellist Matthew Barley gives the world premiere of a 大象传媒 commission from Misha Mullov-Abbado.

Jazz Generation, presented by Andrew McGregor. The 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra joins with the Nu Civilisation Orchestra and String Ting in Duke Ellington's watery orchestral-jazz fusion The River, a ballet score he wrote in 1970. Cellist Matthew Barley is the soloist in the world premiere of Evolving Spring, a 大象传媒 Radio 3 commission from New Generation Artist Misha Mullov-Abbado, who has been described by critics as 'unfailingly inventive' and 'hot news'. And Peter Edwards gives Billy Strayhorn's Chelsea Bridge the orchestral treatment, with featured guest soloist Cuban violinist Omar Puente.
