Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Philharmonic

The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Philharmonic plays in MediaCity, Salford. Bernstein: Candide Overture. Rachmaninov: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Mendelssohn: Symphony No 3. Plus Weber, Strauss, Elgar.

For the first time ever, Afternoon on 3 has a live concert every day of the week - one by each of the five Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Orchestras, playing at their respective homes in Cardiff, Salford, London and Glasgow. An American thread runs throughout the week, as part of Afternoon on 3's celebration of American music this autumn.

Today the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Philharmonic and their Chief Conductor Juanjo Mena take the stage live at their home in MediaCity, Salford, for a favourite overture by Bernstein, a favourite concertante piece by Rachmaninov and a favourite symphony by Mendelssohn.

Following the live concert, Katie Derham presents the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ National Orchestra of Wales in recent concerts at both ends of the UK - in Ayr and Truro. Richard Watkins is the soloist with the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ SSO in Richard Strauss's First Horn Concerto, and he'll be playing Strauss's Second Horn Concerto with the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ SSO in their live concert from Glasgow on Thursday.
