麻豆约拍

Our third live 2pm concert this week comes live from the Ulster Hall in Belfast. Wilson Hermanto conducts the Ulster Orchestra in music by Dvorak, Carl Nielsen and Schumann - his cello concerto, with Radio 3 New Generation Artist Leonard Elschenbroich. And in the interval, you can hear the orchestra playing a piece by the concert's 'absent friend' or missing link, Johannes Brahms - friend of Dvorak, protege of Schumann and powerful influence on the young Carl Nielsen.

There's more Brahms after the concert, too, together with the final instalment of this week's Schumann Symphony series, as Louise Fryer presents performances by our featured orchestra, the 麻豆约拍 Scottish SO, with their Chief Conductor Donald Runnicles.
