Performance on 3 - Roger Norrington 75th Birthday Concert

Presented by Martin Handley. A concert celebrating the 75th birthday of conductor Roger Norrington, who has been an innovator in musical performance since the 1960s. This special event features music in which he excels, and brings together three of the ensembles with which he is closely associated - the Schutz Choir, which he formed in the early 1960s; the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, with whom he has had a close relationship since the late 1990s; and the modern-instrument Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, where he is principal conductor.
