Into the Forest: The Bach Players, Merz Trio

Sean Rafferty goes Into the Forest, linking up live with Sam Evans-Brown in the autumnal forests of New England. Plus live music in our London studio from The Bach Players.

Sean Rafferty presents, as In Tune continues our series featuring daily, live broadcasts from the auburn forests of New Hampshire, USA, as part of the latest instalment of Radio 3鈥檚 Into the Forest season. The autumnal transformation of the red leaves of the New England forests is one of the great natural beauties of the world. Working in partnership with 麻豆社2鈥檚 Autumnwatch (who are also broadcasting daily from the same forest), each day on In Tune there will be special performances from New England musicians in amongst the golden leaves of the forest, as well as contributions from Sam Evans-Brown and a daily dose of slow radio moments captured in New Hampshire by the sound recordists of the 麻豆社 Natural History unit. Today's music from New England is performed by the Emmanuel Ensemble, playing music by Schubert, Britten and Bach.

And of course, we also have fabulous live music in our London studio, too: today The Bach Players stop off in the studio in the middle of their UK tour to perform music from Bach's A Musical Offering and one of Telemann's Paris Quartets. The young American ensemble the Merz Trio look forward to the Britten Weekend at Snape Maltings this weekend with live performances of Brahms and Mozart.

This week of Into the Forest broadcasts culminates in a special live New England concert in In Tune on Friday (see below). Autumnwatch is on 麻豆社2 Monday to Thursday at 8pm.

Into the Forest is a year-long theme for Radio 3, as the station explores the enduring and magical influence of the forest on music and the arts.
