Sara Mohr-Pietsch introduces music for low flutes performed by the group rarescale and visits the home studio of Judith Weir, master of the queen's music.

On the eve of this year's International Women's Day, Sara Mohr-Pietsch introduces an all-female edition featuring a concert by rarescale, the ensemble founded by alto flute player Carla Rees and which specializes in contemporary repertoire for low flutes. Tonight's programme also includes works by two of the young composers selected for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Orchestra's Inspire competition; and in this week's Composers' Rooms, we visit the home studio of Judith Weir, Master of the Queen's Music.
