Craig Armstrong and the Scottish Ensemble

Stephen Broad presents music from the Scottish Ensemble & Craig Armstrong in conversation

Stephen Broad talks to Craig Armstrong about his latest album featuring the uniquely moving tradition of Gaelic Psalm singing. Members of the Scottish Ensemble join us to play extracts from this album in a very special socially distanced recording session at 麻豆约拍 Pacific Quay. Newly appointed Associate conductor of the 麻豆约拍 Scottish Symphony Orchestra Alpesh Chauhan also joins Stephen to talk about his hopes for the orchestra. Plus Andrea Baker makes the case for another Unsung Opera Heroine.
