The Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme exists to provide support and opportunities to some of the brightest talents in the world of classical music, and in the ten years of its existence has numbered artists such as the Belcea String Quartet, Paul Lewis, Janine Jansen, Natalie Clein and Alice Coote among its distinguished members.

In the first of ten early-evening programmes over the Christmas period there is a Germanic theme: a Brahms Rhapsody performed by pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, a cello sonata by Beethoven from German cellist Nicolas Altstaedt, Schumann's Mary Stuart songs performed by soprano Ruby Hughes, and Dvorak's symphonic string quartet in G Major op. 106... performed by fellow new joiners the Signum Quartet, from Germany.
