Proms Composer Portraits

The Composer Portraits feature chamber music by four leading composers, each of whom will have a work premiered in the same day's Prom at the Royal Albert Hall. This year's composers are Simon Holt (25 July), Anders Hillborg (13 August), Steven Stucky (28 August) and Mark-Anthony Turnage (8 September). Alongside performances by students from some of the UK's leading music conservatoires, and other young musicians, the composers will appear in conversation with a Radio 3 presenter.

Composer Portraits are free to all and are recorded by Radio 3 for broadcast later the same evening.
