The NOVO Quartet live at Wigmore Hall

Elizabeth Alker presents an afternoon of exclusive music-making from the UK and beyond including recent highlights from the Glenarm Weekend of Song. Featuring specially made recordings with performances from the acclaimed soprano and Radio 3 New Generation Artist Erika Baikoff, the Grammy award-winning mezzo Fleur Barron, and one of today's leading recital tenors, Ilker Arcayürek.

Throughout the week, we'll be shining a spotlight on the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, and we mark 'Piano Mondays' with the orchestra's recent performance of John Adams' "Grand Pianola Music," with pianists Tamara Stefanovich and Katherine Tinker.

Before that, the programme begins with a live concert from London’s Wigmore Hall given by current BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists the NOVO Quartet - one of Denmark's most exciting young chamber ensembles.
