Young Artists Day: Tomorrow's Warriors Youth Orchestra

Celebrating Radio 3's Young Artists Day, Jez Nelson presents a concert given by Tomorrow's Warriors Youth Orchestra at the Southbank Centre in London.

Jazz on 3 celebrates the future of British jazz on Radio 3's Young Artists Day with Tomorrow's Warriors Youth Orchestra in concert.

Founded by bass player Gary Crosby, the Tomorrow's Warriors scheme has been an important cornerstone of British jazz for over 20 years - shaping the careers of young musicians through workshops, performance platforms and a restless collective spirit. Today the Tomorrow's Warriors Youth Orchestra continues to produce some of the finest next-generation players and here at London's Southbank Centre the 17-piece ensemble premieres new work by some of the collective's esteemed graduates, including Nathaniel Facey, Yazz Ahmed, Peter Edwards, Ben Burrell and Binker Golding.

Titled Bridge To Our Memories, the new series of pieces evokes African storytelling, high-life, Caribbean folk and Arabian rhythms, embodying the individual cultural backgrounds of the writers and reflecting on the changing face of Britain.

Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Chris Elcombe
