Each year, Radio 3 selects six or seven remarkable musicians to join the scheme for two years each. During that time they record in the 成人快手鈥檚 studios, perform with the 成人快手's orchestras and take part in some of the UK's leading music festivals. Not surprisingly, the list of alumni reads like a Who's Who of the most exciting musicians of the past two decades. In this series, we can catch those artists near the beginnings of their journeys. Starting on New Year's Day, we hear for the first time from the exciting artists who have recently joined the scheme: the nineteen year old Swedish violinist Johan Dalene, the viola player Timothy Ridout, the Macedonian-born mezzo soprano Ema Nikolovska and the pianists Alexander Gadjiev and Eric Lu. The scheme also welcomes the jazz guitarist Rob Luft and the Consone Quartet, its first ever period instrument string quartet.
The scheme celebrates its twentieth next year with a special day of programming on Radio 3 on Saturday 01 February
