As part of Afternoon on 3's British Music Season, Nicola Heywood Thomas presents a live concert from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales in Hoddinott Hall, Cardiff focusing on the three great pillars of Welsh composition from the past 100 years: Alun Hoddinott, William Mathias and Daniel Jones.
