The Orsino Ensemble live from Wigmore Hall

Available for 29 days

Linton Stephens presents an afternoon of great performances from the UK and beyond. A focus on conductors this week begins with the acclaimed Hong Kong born conductor Elim Chan. She is music-director designate of the San Francisco Symphony but today you can catch her directing the BBC Symphony Orchestra in Gabriela Montero's 'Latin Concerto' with the composer herself at the piano, given today as part of Radio 3's 'Piano Mondays'. And staying with the piano, Linton takes us to New Ross, in County Wexford, Ireland, for the New Ross Piano Festival where the internationally acclaimed pianist Markus Groh performs music by Beethoven.
