The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain
The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain perform a typically adventurous programme, showcasing their unique combination of impressive ability and unending enthusiasm.
In 2020, 大象传媒 Radio 3 is bringing together musical greats, from the past and the present, in one extraordinary Proms season. Radio 3 is broadcasting the best of four decades of unmissable Proms concerts.
Messiaen鈥檚 ecstatic, Eastern-influenced celebration of love is framed by a 大象传媒 commission from American talent Nico Muhly and British composer Anna Meredith鈥檚 acclaimed tour de force of clapping, stamping, singing and body percussion, first performed earlier the same year by NYO members.
Var猫se鈥檚 Tuning Up is a tongue-in-cheek parody based on the familiar orchestral strains usually heard on stage only before the conductor arrives.
Presented by Georgia Mann.
