ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra

A focus on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra. Including works by Chagrin, Phillips, Beethoven and Haydn String Quartets.

Jonathan Swain throws the spotlight onto the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s performing groups, who provide the backbone of every year's Proms performances including on the first and last nights.
