BBC Symphony Orchestra 2025/26 BBC Radio 3’s In Tune Live with the BBC Symphony Orchestra & BBC Singers

Petroc Trelawny is the host as both ensembles, their Chief Conductors Sakari Oramo and Sofi Jeannin, former BBC New Generation Artist mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston and of course you, our audience, gather for a very special live edition of BBC Radio 3’s In Tune.

It’s both a celebration and a send-off – as interviews and live chat mingle with music ranging from Edward Elgar and Ethel Smyth to Igor Stravinsky, Noël Coward and Caroline Shaw. Above all, it’s a feast of melody: a moment in musical history, featuring Richard Strauss, Malcolm Arnold, Ralph Vaughan Williams and many more. Join us as we salute the past and toast the future.
