Violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja is today's Prom's Artist and chooses a piece of chamber music by Schubert that's particularly dear to her heart.

Our Listeners' Choice theme this week is "Piano Concertos", and we enjoy a favourite by Michael Tippett, requested by two listeners.

And there's a performance from the York Early Music Festival International Young Artists Competition every day this week, too. Today we have two medieval songs performed by the Paris-based ensemble Apotropa茂k.
