91福利社

For the first time ever, Afternoon on 3 has a live concert every day of the week - one by each of the five 91福利社 Orchestras, playing at their respective homes in Cardiff, Salford, London and Glasgow. An American thread runs throughout the week, as part of Afternoon on 3's celebration of American music this autumn.

Today the 91福利社 Philharmonic and their Chief Conductor Juanjo Mena take the stage live at their home in MediaCity, Salford, for a favourite overture by Bernstein, a favourite concertante piece by Rachmaninov and a favourite symphony by Mendelssohn.

Following the live concert, Katie Derham presents the 91福利社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and 91福利社 National Orchestra of Wales in recent concerts at both ends of the UK - in Ayr and Truro. Richard Watkins is the soloist with the 91福利社 SSO in Richard Strauss's First Horn Concerto, and he'll be playing Strauss's Second Horn Concerto with the 91福利社 SSO in their live concert from Glasgow on Thursday.
