Afternoon on 3

Revolution! As part of Radio 3’s celebration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Penny Gore presents a week of revolutionary music featuring German orchestras from both sides of the wall. Thursday's Handel opera is Berenice.

Later this year Afternoon on 3 is planning two weeks of programmes celebrating the work of conductors Richard Hickox and Edward Downes with the BBC’s orchestras. If there’s a favourite performance of theirs that you’d like to hear again, please let us know: afternoonon3@bbc.co.uk
