Live. A concert from London's Barbican Hall. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is famous for its full, warm sound, nurtured under a succession of distinguished musical directors. Conductor Mariss Jansons's London appearances have been infrequent in recent years, and therefore this is a welcome opportunity to hear his account of Brahms's second symphony and Stravinsky's Petrushka.

Stravinsky Ballet: Petrushka
8.15 Twenty Minutes: Experience
Bill Nighy reads the first of two extracts from Martin Amis's eagerly awaited memoir Experience, which concerns his father Kingsley, his own early literary endeavours and affairs of the heart. One of Britain's most lauded writers, Martin Amis was inspired to write his memoir by some remarkable experiences in 1997 - his father died, he left his agent, and his friendship with Julian Barnes ended. He also discovered that his long-lost cousin, Lucy Partington, had died at the hands of serial killer Frederick West. Part 2 is tomorrow at 8pm.
