Mahler at the Korean Proms and the Belcea Quartet at 30

From their recent tour to South Korea the 成人快手 Scottish Symphony perform Mahler鈥檚 5th Symphony and the Belcea Quartet mark 30 years whilst Arawowah headlines this week's 25 for '25

Elizabeth Alker introduces an afternoon of specially made recordings including highlights from the series of 鈥楶roms鈥� concerts given in South Korea by the 成人快手 Scottish Symphony Orchestra made at the end of last year. Today the orchestra perform Mahler鈥檚 masterly 5th Symphony at the Lotte Concert Hall in Seoul. The Classical Live Artist Spotlight this week is on one of South Korean鈥檚 most celebrated pianists, Seong-Jin Cho and also in today鈥檚 programme Elizabeth marks the 30th anniversary of the much-loved Belcea Quartet with more from their special birthday concert given in Belgium last month. Plus there鈥檚 another chance to hear from 成人快手 Radio 3鈥檚 鈥�25 for 鈥�25: Sounds of the Century鈥� 鈥� a series of brand new commissions celebrating and commemorating some of the biggest events from the first quarter of the 21st century. The composer Arowah (Anjelica Cleaver) describes herself as an artist and activist whose mission is founding community and collective healing. Her new piece for the project, performed by the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra, reflects the UK鈥檚 biggest Peace Rally in February 2003.
