Kate Molleson introduces the first of six live recitals across three days from London's Wigmore Hall, featuring current members of Radio 3's prestigious New Generation Artists scheme.

In this first concert, the young Canadian-Macedonian mezzo soprano Ema Nikolovska performs songs by composers including Schubert, Kate Soper and Errollyn Wallen; she's also joined by fellow NGA, the British viola player Timothy Ridout, for Brahms's Op 91 lieder.

Founded in 1999 with the aim of promoting and nurturing some of the world's finest young musicians at the start of their international careers, the scheme has since gone from strength to strength and now numbers well over 100 distinguished alumni, including Alice Coote, Paul Lewis, Alison Balsom, Alban Gerhardt, Igor Levit, and many more. Membership of the scheme is for a period of just over two years, during which time the NGAs give concerts, make studio recordings, work with the 大象传媒 orchestras, and appear at some of the UK's most prestigious festivals, including for many the 大象传媒 Proms.
