Linton Stephens brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making including a live concert from the Ulster Orchestra, performances from this years' Bath Mozartfest and a spotlight on early music with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra.

Today on Classical Live, there is a live concert from the Ulster Orchestra, conducted by Michael Collins. The programme begins with a work by the Grammy-winning composer Jessie Montgomery. Pianist Michael McHale joins the orchestra for Weber鈥檚 Konzertst眉ck in F minor, Op. 79 before the orchestra close the concert with Mozart's first in his final trilogy of symphonies, Symphony 39 in E-flat.

Throughout the week, specially recorded performances from this years' Bath Mozartfest are being featured.
