8.00 Southbank Series: Tasmin Little says farewell

As part of her long-delayed final season before retiring from the concert stage, Tasmin Little - one of Britain's best-loved violinists - bids farewell to the Southbank Centre. For this, her last performance at a major concert venue, Little is joined by four of her favourite piano partners; Andrey Gugnin, Piers Lane, John Lenehan and Martin Roscoe in a wide-ranging and intriguing programme where the familiar rubs shoulders with the lesser known.
