Radio 3 in Concert

RADIO 3, 7.30PM

Tonight’s concert is a grand Scandinavian affair broadcast live from Glasgow, as the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Finnish folk musicians play pieces by Sibelius and the evocative folk music that inspired him, as an extravagant finale to the BBCSSO’S season. They are joined by Lund University Male Voice Choir and soloists Ilona Korhonen, Helena Juntunen, and Benjamin Appl, as well as Vilma Timonen on kantele, Timo Alakotila on harmonium and Taito Hoffren on vocals and shaman drum.
