BBC Radio 3 - In Tune, Thursday - Sean Rafferty

Featuring the Lammermuir Festival, ENO's The Passenger and the Degas exhibition.

Presented by Sean Rafferty. Featuring the Lammermuir Festival, English National Opera's new production 'The Passenger' and the Royal Academy of Arts Edgar Degas exhibition.

Presented by Sean Rafferty.

Sean is joined by Hugh MacDonald, artistic director of the Lammermuir Festival along with Emily Hoile (clarsach - traditional harp) and Alice Burn (Northumbrian smallpipes) who perform live in the studio ahead of their performances at the festival. 

Sean is also joined by distinguished conductor Sir Richard Armstrong, mezzo-soprano Michelle Breedt and soprano Giselle Allen, ahead of the English National Opera's production of Mieczysław Weinberg's 'The Passenger'. 

We also hear from curators Ann Dumas and Richard Kendall, ahead of a landmark exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts entitled 'Degas and the ballet: picturing movement'. The exhibition focuses on Edgar Degas's preoccupation with movement as an artist of the dance and traces the development of the artist's ballet imagery throughout his career, from the documentary mode of the early 1870s to the sensuous expressiveness of his final years.
