Charles Ives Weekend

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

BBC Symphony Orchestra Today's events begin with a concert given last night at the Barbican. The concert cantata The Celestial
Country is one of Ives's most orthodox works; the lyrical third symphony contrasts starkly with the orchestral set, which includes an evocation of a moment of mourning. The concert ends with a reminder that Central Park was once a peaceful place. BBC Singers Duke Quartet
