For all the Fitkin fans amongst us, there’s a veritable Fitkin-fest on Radio 3 this week.<\/p>\n

\"\"From Monday, and on iPlayer until next Monday<\/a>, there’s the chance to hear the London premiere of L, written as a present for and here also performed by cellist Yo-Yo Ma.<\/p>\n

Then from Tuesday (also on iPlayer for a week here), there’s an interview with Fitkin himself on ‘In Tune,’<\/a> together with the composer playing three short piano pieces live in the studio, and a broadcast of ‘Metal’ and an extract from ‘Circuit.’<\/p>\n

From tonight, there will be the chance to hear the Prom premiere of his Cello Concerto<\/a>, also written for Yo-Yo Ma, after which is a broadcast of some of his chamber works<\/a> performed by the London Sinfonietta Academy Ensemble, from the ‘Proms Composer Portraits,’ where Fitkin will be in conversation with Tom Service, and presenting his ‘Sciosophy,’ ‘Hurl,’ and ‘Sinew.’<\/p>\n

A previous post about Fitkin, including the chance to listen to some of his pieces, appeared on here back in February<\/a>.<\/p>\n
