Recording for the BBC

CMA students will be making a recording for the BBC later this term.

The recording is for radio 3’s ‘Stories from the Archives’, which takes 5 objects from the Museum of Music History’s archives, and reveals the stories they hold. A scrap of manuscript found on the battlefield after the Battle of Waterloo will be recreated and performed by CMA brass and percussion.

Hollywood Film

Concert Band will appear in a major Hollywood film next year – very secret, but thrilling for all concerned!

Performance Platforms
