Katie Derham with music from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ NOW. Beethoven: Leonore Overture No 1. Mozart: Violin Concerto No 5. Schubert: Symphony No 9. Bartok: Divertimento. Barber: Cello Concerto.

Katie Derham presents a week of programmes showcasing the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales with performances from recent tours. Plus the orchestra in concert live from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hoddinott Hall on Tuesday and a live concert by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers from St Paul's Knightsbridge on Thursday.

Young violinist Callum Smart attracted attention when, at the age of just thirteen, he won the strings category of the 2010 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Young Musicians Competition. Since then he has toured as a soloist and chamber musician all whilst still at school. He joins the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales to perform Mozart's Concerto no. 5 in A major, K.219. One of the first ever Radio 3 New Generation Artists back in 1999, cellist Alban Gerhardt is no stranger to being a precociously talented young string player himself. He joins the orchestra to play Barber's Op.22 concerto. Plus Beethoven, Bartok, and Schubert's 9th Symphony, the 'Great'.
