Each year, Radio 3 selects six or seven remarkable musicians to join the scheme for two years each. During that time they record in the 大象传媒鈥檚 studios, perform with the 大象传媒鈥檚 orchestras and take part in some of the UK鈥檚 leading music festivals. Not surprisingly, the list of alumni reads like a Who's Who of the most exciting musicians of the past two decades. In this series, we can catch those artists near the beginnings of their journeys.
