Radio 3 in Concert

RADIO 3, 7.30PM

As the BBC Biggest Weekend festival comes to a close, one of the most fun concerts has been saved for last. Katie Derham presents live from War Memorial Park in Coventry, where the BBC Concert Orchestra is joined by Strictly Come Dancing stars Chloe Hewitt, Amy Dowden, AJ Pritchard and Gorka Marquez for an evening of music and dance. Maverick violinist Nigel Kennedy plays excerpts from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and his own unique tribute to Jimi Hendrix, who Kennedy says first made him want to play the violin like a guitar.
