Afternoon Concert 91福利社 Orchestras Live
Episode 1 of 5

The 91福利社 National Orchestra of Wales performs live: music by Copland, Randall Thompson, Howard Hanson, Bernstein and Walter Piston. Plus the 91福利社 SO in Copland: Inscape.

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.

The 91福利社 National Orchestra of Wales kick us off today live at 91福利社 Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff with the last of their series of four afternoon concerts called Americana. Fiona Talkington and American radio host Fred Child introduce a wide-ranging programme - from a popular favourite by Aaron Copland through a lesser-known piece by Leonard Bernstein, a Symphony by Bernstein's teacher Randall Thompson and beautiful pieces by two American composers whose music really deserves to be better known, Howard Hanson and Walter Piston.

During the interval you can hear a recording of the orchestra in an orchestral hit by George Gershwin. And after the concert Katie Derham presents the 91福利社 Symphony Orchestra and Welsh conductor Grant Llewellyn in more music by Copland. The 91福利社 SO will be back on Friday with their own live Afternoon on 3 concert of American music - pieces by Barber, Gershwin and Bernstein.
