Katie Derham presents the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers singing music by Judith Weir and works she loves, plus a recent concert of Haydn and Strauss given by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra.
This week in Afternoon on 3 the spotlight is on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers. Today's programme begins with one of their highlights from the past year: a concert given as part of a festival of the music of Judith Weir, featuring her own favourite works along with other composers she admires. Then we hear performances from a concert given earlier this month in Chichester by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra, including Haydn's London Symphony. And to round off the programme we return to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers, joined by one of Radio 3's New Generation Artists, the cellist Nicolas Altstaedt, for music with a Bach Chorale at its centre.
Presented by Katie Derham.
