It isÌýwelcomeÌýnewsÌýfor UK performing groups andÌýlistenersÌýwho will enjoy an invitationÌýtoÌýso many outstanding classical performances. What is perhaps less apparentÌýis that it represents aÌýdeliberate move across Ö÷²¥´óÐã radio to keep building the percentage of live output that weÌýair on our stations."
