BBC Radio 3 and SOAS
BBC Radio 3 has teamed up with SOAS, University of London, to combine expertise, ideas and knowledge in order to further understand how traditional music is transmitted orally across generations. The collaboration is part of BBC Radio 3’s 2013 World Routes Academy scheme, which provides talented young world music artists based in the UK with the chance to explore their musical roots. The scheme annually offers a young musician the chance to learning from and perform with a great musician from their country of origin.
SOAS
In 2013, the scheme will focus on the Mugham tradition of Azeri singing with World Routes Academy protégée, Fidan Hajiyeva. SOAS music lecturer Dr Lucy Durán will follow Fidan’s musical progress as she learns from her highly acclaimed mugham mentor Gochaq Askarov. Her journey will be documented in programmes recorded on location in Azerbaijan and London, and broadcast on BBC Radio 3’s prestigious world music programme, World Routes (Sunday nights at 22:00).
The project culminates in performances by both protegée and mentor at UK festivals over the summer, including WOMAD at Charleton Park, and the BBC Proms on Thursday 22 August at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
