The BBC’s flagship scheme for young musicians selects the best talent around and we are delighted to provide a high-profile platform for as many as we can. This concert by a prize-winning Colombian musician opens with one of Bach’s monumental solo dance suites, a sure test of any cellist’s mettle. Set alongside this are three intriguing pieces, including the exquisitely beautiful and mesmerising work by one of Estonia’s finest, culminating in a piece written by the performer himself.

This concert will be recorded for future broadcast. Concert running time 75 mins with no interval.
