Listen Up! 2006
Reich and Stravinsky
Monday 2 October 2006 19:30-21:30 (Radio 3)
Sarah Walker launches the first full week of Radio 3's coverage of the Listen Up! Festival of Orchestras 2006. The festival reflects the strength, diversity and commitment of the whole UK orchestral community, amateur and professional alike.
The week gets off to a flying start with one of London's leading professional orchestras, the LSO from the Barbican Hall in London, in a concert celebrating Steve Reich's 70th birthday. Alongside the music, there's the first episode of a specially commissioned 15-part story about the orchestra by award-winning author Alexander McCall Smith, and of Dermot Clinch's A-Z of the orchestra.
