As a young violinist, Marin Alsop led the orchestra in the first recording of Glass's The Photographer and has long championed the influential Minimalist's music. She also conducts Itaip煤, Glass's choral homage to the world's largest hydroelectric dam, and the prelude to the opera Ahknaten, about the Egyptian pharaoh.
Followed by music for brass band written by British composers as a prelude to Thursday's Radio 3 in Concert from the Royal Northern College of Music's Brass Band Festival, featuring the Cory Band.
