Radio 3 Classical Voice Season (Working Title)

[Guest]

Coinciding with the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition in June 2015, Radio 3 will devote a season to the joys of the human voice as reflected in Classical music, from songs and opera, to choral pieces; from secular to religious output.

Is this Alan Davey's first official Radio 3 announcement?

??? It is part of a BBC wide season. It looks as if Lord Hall took the main role.
