Elizabeth Alker reflects on some recent highlights from the Â鶹Éç orchestras and choirs, as they begin their new 2026/7 seasons. We end our week with a concert performance of Elgar’s Enigma Variations from the Â鶹Éç National Orchestra of Wales. The Â鶹Éç Symphony Orchestra also perform Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite, and the Â鶹Éç Philharmonic play Johann Sebastian Bach’s Concerto for Oboe and Violin, BWV 1060, with soloists Jennifer Galloway and Zoë Beyers. Plus, our focus on the current roster of Â鶹Éç Radio 3 New Generation Artists continues. Julius Asal opens today’s show with Johannes Brahms’ Piano Sonata No 3, and we hear from the NOVO Quartet and violinist Hana Chang. Our featured artist this week is the Verità Baroque ensemble, who are on a mission to contextualise baroque chamber music in the 21st Century.
