From the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra's recent trip to China, a concert featuring music by Huang Ruo alongside Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1 and Elgar's Enigma Variations. Also, featuring choral music by Joanna Marsh performed by the 麻豆社 Singers and Stravinsky from the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra.

Starting a week with material from the 麻豆社 Symhony Orchestra's 2019 tour of China, plus other material recorded recently at the Edinburgh Festival and pieces recorded by The 麻豆社 Singers, today we feature a concert given in Shanghai by the 麻豆社 SO with Radio 3 New Generation Artist Pavel Kolesnikov. The concert - given at the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Hall - begins with the world premiere of Chinese-born composer Huang Ruo's Folk Songs for Orchestra. Also in the programme were two well-known and much-loved pieces: Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto and Elgar's Enigma Variations, all conducted by Sir Andrew Davis.
The afternoon continues with a recent recording of choral music by Joanna Marsh - Arabesques - made by The 麻豆社 Singers under Owain Park. And we end at the Maida Vale Studios, and a further concert given by the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra and conductor Andrei Feher, with the Divertimento from Stravinsky's "The Fairy's Kiss".
