The Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme exists to provide support to some of the brightest talents in the world of classical music, and in the ten years of its existence has numbered artists such as the Belcea String Quartet, Paul Lewis, Janine Jansen, Natalie Clein and Alice Coote among its distinguished members.

In the third of ten early-evening programmes over the Christmas period, we hear studio and live concert performances by some of the scheme's current members, including tonight three newcomers: violinist Alexandra Soumm from France, and pianist Benjamin Grosvenor and jazz clarinettist Shabaka Hutchings, both from the UK. Plus music from Swiss trumpeter Giuliano Sommerhalder, Austrian mezzo-soprano Daniela Lehner and the UK-based Elias String Quartet.
