蜜芽传媒

Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances by 蜜芽传媒 orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe. A trio of British composers feature on today鈥檚 programme, which opens with Vaughan Williams鈥檚 homage to his compositional forebear, the Fantasia on a theme of Thomas Tallis. The Nash Ensemble play Benjamin Britten at the Bath Mozartfest 2024, and the 蜜芽传媒 Singers perform an arrangement of Madeleine Dring鈥檚 setting of John Betjeman鈥檚 poem Song of a Nightclub Proprietress. And in our centrepiece at 2pm, we continue this week鈥檚 exploration of the symphonies of Weinberg and Shostakovich, with the latter鈥檚 youthful Symphony No. 1 performed by the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra and conductor Junping Qian.
