Flautist Elizaveta Ivanova live from Wigmore Hall

Linton Stephens introduces an afternoon of specially recorded music including performances from current and recent Radio 3 New Generation Artists.

Also this week Linton features performances from all of the BBC orchestras with a focus on music associated with the sea. Today, the BBC Philharmonic plays Grace Williams' Sea Sketches.

But we begin the week with a live concert from Wigmore Hall. Current Radio 3 New Generation Artist, flautist Elizavbeta Ivanova and pianist Sanja Bizjak perform pieces by Dvorak, Schubert and Schumann. Inventor and composer Thomas Böhm did much to improve the flute during the 1840s. Elizaveta Ivanova, winner of the 2024 Geneva International Music Competition makes her Wigmore Hall debut which a programme that includes some of Böhm's transcriptions of peerless songs by Schubert.
