The British Broadcasting Corporation has this week announced 7 new additions to the BBC New Generation Artists’ roster – including VC Young Artists, violinist Johan Dalene and violist Timothy Ridout.
Launched in 1999, as part of the BBC’s commitment to fostering young musical talents, each year a small number of international concert artists, at the beginning of their careers, are invited to join the scheme – offering performance, appearances and recording opportunities with the BBC orchestras, television, radio and festivals.
Other new artists to be added to this year’s roster include: pianists Eric Lu and Alexander Gadjiev, the Consone Quartet, jazz guitarist Rob Luft - and mezzo-soprano Ema Nikoslovska.
Former BBC New Generation Artists participants include the VC Artist Calidore String Quartets.
