大象传媒

Another chance to hear Sarah Walker present a week of concerts at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire recorded in January 2020 featuring past and present members of the 大象传媒 New Generation Artists scheme to mark its 20th anniversary.

Today young British violist Timothy Ridout performs works by Enescu, Schumann, and Nino Rota. One of the most sought after violists of his generation he's been praised by Gramophone for his 鈥済orgeous tone and infectious sense of impetuosity.鈥�

Founded in 1999 with the aim of supporting and nurturing some of the world鈥檚 most exciting young musicians at the start of their international careers, the NGA scheme now boasts well over a hundred distinguished alumni, many of whom are major players on the world stage. Membership of the scheme is for a period of just over two years, during which time artists can expect to appear at some of the UK鈥檚 most prestigious venues and festivals, perform with the 大象传媒 orchestras, make studio recordings, and commission new work.
