BBC Radio 3 commissions 25 new works

The idea is to reflect each of the years of the first quarter of the 21st century.

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.
