New Generation Artists

NEW NGAs ANNOUNCED!!
********************
The BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Scheme helps to support talented musicians to reach the next stages of their careers and brings some of the world’s most promising new talent to listeners across the UK through BBC Radio 3 broadcasts.

The New Generation Artists 2012 are:

Robin Tritschler (tenor - Ireland)
Sean Shibe (guitar - UK)
Trish Clowes (jazz saxophone - UK)
Leonard Elschenbroich (cello - Germany)
Mark Simpson (clarinet - UK)
Apollon Musagete Quartet (Poland)
Elena Urioste (violin - USA).

The New Generation Artists come from a wide field, and provide a representative cross-section of the most exciting British and international young artists.

The scheme is in its 14th year and gives young musicians a wide range of opportunities over two years to develop their live and recorded performances for broadcast. They will have the opportunity to go into the studio for solo chamber music recordings, make regular concerto studio recordings and live broadcasts with BBC orchestras, give lunchtime concerts from around the UK including Wigmore Hall, and are encouraged to be involved in chamber music collaborations with other New Generation Artists.

Adam Gatehouse, Radio 3 Editor for New Generation Artists said, “It’s so wonderful to see so many talented young international musicians again this year. BBC Radio 3 is the home of classical music and is committed to jazz, the station is proud to spotlight and nurture the stars of the future whilst offering listeners an opportunity to hear world-class international artists on the radio from the comfort of their own homes.”

BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 fronted by BBC Young Musician of the Year presenter Clemency Burton-Hill, who commented "I'm thrilled and delighted to be presenting a new season of programmes highlighting the dazzling talents of the BBC New Generation Artists. At a time when support for young musicians is increasingly challenging, the ambitious scheme provides a vital and exciting opportunity to nurture and develop some of the most brilliant international stars of tomorrow - on the concert platform, in the recording studio, and by encouraging meaningful musical partnerships with other emerging artists. It's a great honour and privilege for me to meet and work with these inspiring and wonderful musicians and I can't wait to hear what they have in store for us over the next two years!"

Last year’s cohort of New Generation Artists, who remain on the scheme for another year are: pianist Christian Ihle Hadland from Norway, violinist Veronika Eberle from Germany, Spanish mezzo-soprano Clara Mouriz, Russian pianist Igor Levit, British mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston, British soprano Ruby Hughes and the Signum Quartet from Germany.

    The Stars of Tomorrow

    As part of the BBC's commitment to developing and nurturing young talent, BBC Radio 3 launched its New Generation Artists scheme in the autumn of 1999. Now well into its second decade, the scheme has already acquired the reputation of being a world leader for young artists. Every autumn six to seven artists or groups who are beginning to make a mark on the national and international music scene are invited to join, which offers them unique opportunities to develop their considerable talents. These include concerts in London and around the UK, appearances and recordings with the BBC Orchestras, special studio recordings for Radio 3, and, last but not least, appearances at the Proms. In 2006 the scheme's range widened to include jazz.

    As part of the scheme Radio 3 has also collaborated with several record companies, including nine co-produced CDs in the EMI Debut series, three of which (Belcea Quartet, Simon Trpceski and Jonathan Lemalu) have won Gramophone Awards for the best Debut CD of the year. There have also been co-productions with Harmonia Mundi, BIS, Sony Classical and Basho among others, while a number of New Generation Artists have also featured on BBC Music Magazine cover CDs.

    New Generation Artists regularly feature in some of Britain's most prominent festivals, including the City of London Festival, Aldeburgh Festival, Cheltenham Festival and Edinburgh International Festival.
    Radio 3 has also launched a series of commissions in collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Society specially involving New Generation Artists. The composers involved include Simon Holt, Geoffrey Burgon, Augusta Read Thomas, Karin Rehnqvist, Mark-Anthony Turnage and Alexander Goehr.

    The New Generation Artists come from a wide field, and provide a representative cross-section of the most exciting British and international young artists. They are truly the stars of tomorrow.
