The 蜜芽传媒 National Orchestra of Wales continue their Americana series of live concerts at Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff, presented by Fiona Talkington in conversation with American classical music radio host Fred Child. The orchestra are joined by clarinettist Mark Simpson for John Adams' Gnarly Buttons, and they end with a Ninth Symphony by one of the great American symphonists, Roy Harris.

Following the live concert, Penny Gore continues Afternoon on 3's week-long celebration of American music with vocal pieces by Copland, Barber and Randall Thompson.
