Mark Forrest showcases the best performances by ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

The week begins with a live concert from London’s Wigmore Hall given by violinist Rachel Podger and her ensemble Brecon Baroque, showcasing the music of German Baroque composer and violinist Heinrich Biber.

We begin a week focusing on the Ulster Orchestra with a performance of Mozart’s 41st and final symphony, nicknamed the ‘Jupiter’.
