Tasmin Little meets clarinettist Annelien Van Wauwe, a BBC New Generation Artist from 2015-17, to share experiences about their respective music careers. They discuss the process of adapting to instruments as players; they also share views on how different - and similar - breathing is for a violinist compared to a clarinettist... and the relevance of wearing high heels for them too! Tasmin and Annelien also talk about the barriers that are still found in the Classical Music world and how audiences need a more open approach in order to be able to enjoy their experience in the concert hall.

Ryan Bancroft (conductor)
The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Principal Conductor Ryan Bancroft present an all-American Prom. Two poems by Emily Dickinson provide the starting point for Harmonium, one of John Adams’s most powerful works for chorus and orchestra. Propulsive, motoric urgency gives way briefly to blissful waves of sound, before a blazing conclusion. Jazz runs through the veins of Copland’s Clarinet Concerto, commissioned by ‘King of Swing’ Benny Goodman and performed here with soloist Annelien Van Wauwe. The concert opens with a world premiere from Los Angeles-based composer Derrick Skye, whose music has been described as ‘deliciously head-spinning’.
Presented by Ian Skelly, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
First broadcast: 31 July 2023
