The works will premiere on Tom Service’s Saturday Morning programme from January 25.

Anna Clyne (pic) has chosen the year 2000, Stephen Hough 2001, Errollyn Wallen 2012, Thea Musgrave 2022-3. Other composers include Karl Jenkins, Rakhi Singh, Gavin Higgins and Nkeiru Okoye.

There will also be a daylong Boulez bash on the composer’s centenary on March 25.
