ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra - continuing the Song and Dance theme
Doghouse, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra's Composer in Association Jonny Greenwood's latest work, forms the centrepiece of today's concert, recorded last month at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Maida Vale Studios and presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch. It's set in relief against other musical styles this unique broadcasting orchestra has been associated with over the years: radio theme tunes, light music, and film music.
Penny Gore rounds the week off with music by Elgar, Martinu and a set of fairy tales with accordion, conducted by the orchestra's laureate Barry Wordsworth. Plus the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers with some avant-garde songs from the 1500s.

Radio 3's music feature at 12.15pm on Saturday 27 March, 'The Arch-Musician', uncovers the amazing life and music of sixteenth-century microtonal composer Nicola Vicentino.
