Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms

The BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales perform Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms. Plus, brass music from the Wallberg Band.

Ian Skelly presents concert performances from the BBC performing groups and from across Europe. As part of the BBC's Rethinking Disability week, this week's Artist's Choices have been picked by members of the National Youth Open Orchestra. Today's choice, from trombonist Jonah, is music from Ennio Morricone's classic film score to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. This week also showcases the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in our 3pm highlight slots. Today, the orchestra is joined by the BBC National Chorus of Wales and conductor Sofi Jeannin for Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms. Plus, more brass music from the Wallberg Band.
