This season, Principal Conductor Vladimir Jurowski begins a cycle of Mahler symphonic works, and on 31 May performs Totenfeier, the early version of the 1st movement of his second symphony. Programmed with Mendelssohn and a new song cycle by Torsten Rasch, Vladimir talks about the links between the works, and the intriguing lyrics to Rasch's My Heart is on Fire. The podcast starts with news from members of the Foyle Future Firsts apprenticeship scheme - young musicians who take part in a range of rehearsal, education and performance opportunities with the orchestra. There's still a chance to win one of the Orchestra's 75th Anniversary CD box sets.
