New Generation Artists in Concert (5)

Johan Dalene and Eivind Ringstad perform Halvorsen's Passacaglia, Helen Charlston sings Ireland and Fanny Mendelssohn, and the Mithras trio play Korngold's Piano Trio in D.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch introduces the fifth programme in a series of Monday Lunchtime Concerts featuring current and recent Radio 3 New Generation Artists in performances from across the UK. Today, violinist Johan Dalene joins the viola of Eivind Ringstad at the Cheltenham Festival for Johan Halvorsen's re-working of a Passacaglia by Handel and the Mithras Trio introduce the Yorkshire's Ryedale Festival audience to the remarkable Piano Trio by the 12-year-old Erich Korngold. And, in Birmingham, Helen Charlston makes an imaginative pairing of songs by John Ireland and Fanny Mendelssohn Henselt.

Established nearly a quarter of a century ago, Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme is acknowledged internationally as the foremost programme 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 and venues, 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, women and diverse 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 including pianists Paul Lewis, Pavel Kolesnikov, Benjamin Grosvenor and Beatrice Rana, violinists Alina Ibragimova and Lisa Batiashvili, the Belcea, Jerusalem and 脡b猫ne Quartets, singers Alice Coote and Fatma Said and the trumpeter Alison Balsom.
