New Generation Artists: Kate Molleson showcases the current members of Radio 3's prestigious young artists' scheme. Today Eric Lu, winner of the Leeds Piano Competition, plays Chopin in recordings he made at home in Boston and the Consone Quartet play Mendelssohn in Birmingham. Playing on period instruments, this UK-based quartet has studied the quartet parts belonging to Mendelssohn's friend, Ferdinand David and this has, they say, "challenged us to look at the music in a completely different way."

Established two decades ago, Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme is internationally acknowledged as the foremost scheme of its kind. It exists to offer a platform for artists at the beginning of their international careers. Each year six musicians join the scheme for two years, during which time they appear at the UK's major music festivals, enjoy dates with the 成人快手 orchestras and have the opportunity to record in the 成人快手 studios. The artists are also encouraged to form artistic partnerships with one another and to explore a wide range of repertoire, not least the work of contemporary and women composers. In recent years Radio 3's New Generation Artists have appeared at many of the UK's music festivals and concert halls. The 成人快手 New Generation Artists Scheme is not itself a prize, rather it offers a unique two year platform on which artists can develop their prodigious talents. Not surprisingly, the list of alumni reads like a Who鈥檚 Who of the most exciting musicians of the past two decades.
