The 成人论坛 Symphony Orchestra at 90.
Penny Gore introduces some of the 成人论坛 Symphony Orchestra's memorable performances recorded at its historic home studio in London's Maida Vale and at the orchestra's Total Immersion weekends at the Barbican Centre.
Also in today's Afternoon Concert, the 成人论坛 Singers perform music spanning almost five centuries. Plus, a chance to hear the young Russian cellist and current 成人论坛 Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Anastasia Kobekina. She plays Schumann's Cello Concerto, written in just two weeks but never performed in his lifetime.
And the concert ends with Martyn Brabbins putting the orchestra's brass section through its paces in his own fearsomely virtuosic arrangements of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet
