Thursday - Petroc Trelawny

Petroc Trelawny presents Radio 3's classical breakfast show, and is joined in the studio by the ѿý Singers, who perform the winning entry in the Breakfast Carol Competition.

Breakfast with Petroc Trelawny.

Petroc Trelawny announces the winner of Radio 3's Breakfast Carol Competition.

Back in August, Breakfast listeners were challenged to compose a choral setting of modern version of a Medieval English poem called "Alleluia! A new work is come on hand". After a great response from very many talented people, the time has now arrived for the result of the voting on the six shortlisted finalists. The winning entry will be performed live by the ѿý Singers.

The six carols were shortlisted by a panel including Judith Weir, Master of the Queen's Music, and David Hill, Chief Conductor of the ѿý Singers.
