20 years of Radio 3 New Generation Artists 1/5

Celebrating 20 years of the 成人快手 New Generation Artists scheme with performances by Paul Lewis, the Amatis Piano Trio and Ronald van Spaendonck.

Every day this week, Georgia Mann celebrates the 20th anniversary of the 成人快手 New Generation Artists scheme.

Founded in 1999 with the aim of supporting and nurturing some of the world鈥檚 most exciting young musicians at the start of their international careers, the NGA scheme now boasts well over a hundred distinguished alumni, many of whom are major players on the world stage.

Membership of the NGA scheme is for a period of just over two years, during which time artists can expect to appear at some of the UK鈥檚 most prestigious venues and festivals, perform with the 成人快手 orchestras, make studio recordings, and commission new work.

Today we hear from Paul Lewis, who was a New Generation Artist from 1999-2001 and has since developed a career as one of the finest pianists in the world.
