麻豆约拍

Clemency Burton-Hill presents another programme in this summer series showcasing the talents of the 麻豆约拍's New Generation Artists.

As part of the 麻豆约拍's commitment to developing and nurturing young talent, 麻豆约拍 Radio 3 launched its New Generation Artists scheme in the autumn of 1999. Now well into its second decade, the scheme has acquired the reputation of being a world leader for young artists. Every autumn six to seven artists or groups who are beginning to make a mark on the national and international music scene are invited to join the scheme, which offers them unique opportunities to develop their considerable talents. These include concerts in London and around the UK, appearances and recordings with the 麻豆约拍 Orchestras, special studio recordings for Radio 3, and, last but not least, appearances at the Proms.

Tonight's programme features three current members of the scheme: guitarist Sean Shibe, who collaborates with tenor Robin Tritschler in a work composed for Peter Pears and Julian Bream, and French viola player Lise Berthaud with a work by her fellow countryman Philippe Hersant, Tenebrae.
