BBC Singers, Soumik Datta, Pavel Sporcl, Wexford Festival Opera

Top-class live music from some of the world's finest musicians.

The BBC Singers perform extracts from a new work by Soumik Datta for Sean Rafferty from their Maida Vale home, and we hear from conductor Sofi Jeannin ahead of the premiere of the new commission at Milton Court. We’re joined, too, by conductor Francesco Cilluffo and Artistic Director Rosetta Cucchi to discuss this year’s Wexford Festival Opera. And the violinist Pavel Sporcl plays live in the studio ahead of his concert with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and discusses his new album.
