Verity Sharp sets sail from Plymouth with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales, and through the stormy Bristol Channel, past the home of Welsh composer Grace Williams, to land on the sunny shores of the Italian Riviera for a family holiday with Elgar. Baroque expert Rachel Podger directs from the violin in a Vivaldi concerto, and Damian Iorio makes his debut with the orchestra in music inspired by Italy. Recent Radio 3 New Generation Artist Olena Tokar returns to the orchestra with whom she sang at ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Cardiff SInger of the World in 2013, taking us into the sunset with a setting of a poem by Shelley.
