When Alex Ross, author of The Rest Is Noise, said that Britain was one of the best places in the world to make new music, tonight’s concert was the kind of thing he had in mind. 
Arne Gieshoff is a young German composer who’s found his voice in London. Helen Grime, one of the most powerful young British talents, provides a new showpiece for percussion phenomenon Colin Currie. Leading Dutch composer Louis Andriessen’s Agamemnon receives its European premiere, and the LPO’s own Principal Piccolo introduces a new concerto from Estonia, before the whole Orchestra gives the world premiere of the Concerto for Orchestra by the cult Swedish composer Anders Hillborg.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
