Leia Zhu, Tom Cohen

Violin prodigy Leia Zhu talks to Katie Derham and performs live, before we are joined by conductor and musician Tom Cohen, director of the Jerusalem Orchestra East & West.

At sixteen, Leia Zhu is about to perform one particularly iconic and challenging piece, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, in an upcoming concert at the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford. She joins Katie Derham and performs live. Also Katie's guest tonight is conductor and musician Tom Cohen, who founded the Jerusalem Orchestra East & West. Ahead of their concert at the Barbican Hall in London, he talks to Katie and plays some pieces on the mandolin in the studio.
