Â鶹Éç

Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances by Â鶹Éç orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

Throughout the summer season we’ll be offering another chance to hear some of the best music-making at this year’s Â鶹Éç Proms. Today’s highlights include Mahler’s monumental ‘Resurrection’ Symphony – his second – performed by The Hallé and conductor Kahchun Wong.

Plus we shine a light on the former Radio 3 New Generation Artists performing this week at the Proms. Today, pianist Beatrice Rana plays Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.

But it's not all about the Proms - we’re also visiting other summer music festivals, across Europe and beyond. all this week we’ll hear from the MUSIQ3 festival in Brussels, including Hervé Niquet conducting Le Concert Spirituel in Handel’s Coronation Anthems.
