About This Event
BBC Young Musician has launched many classical careers since it began in 1978. Three of its 2016 finalists – Jess Gillam, Ben Goldscheider and Sheku Kanneh-Mason – are reunited a decade on in a specially commissioned Triple Concerto by former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Gwilym Simcock, full of rhythmic energy and joy. Britten’s colourful The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra and the folk-inspired warmth of Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony complete a vibrant programme.
Recorded for broadcast on BBC TV and BBC iPlayer
