Welcome to the London Philharmonic Orchestra's special Wigmore Hall podcast, presented by Edward Seckerson.
Sorry - the music player is currently unavailable
This season marks the fourth year that the London Philharmonic Orchestra has performed a chamber music series at Wigmore Hall. It provides the opportunity for members of the Orchestra to perform in small ensembles, and for audiences to hear programmes of less familiar works, often for unusual instrumental combinations. In this podcast soloists from the Orchestra discuss their love of chamber music, and music writer Anthony Burton explores the theme of Originals and Transcriptions, the title of the Chamber Contrasts concert on 16 April.
We need your feedback! Please fill out our short online questionnaire about the podcasts to tell us what we're doing well, where we could improve, and what you'd like to hear in future podcasts. Plus the chance to win one of the Orchestra's 75th Anniversary CD box sets.
