Free to ticket holders
Wiltshire Music Centre is delighted to be selected as the
venue to showcase BCMG's Chamber Players as part of the
BBC-devised Music Nation, a weekend of concerts to
celebrate the best of the UK's live orchestral
music. Music Nation is a countdown event to the London
2012 Cultural Olympiad Festival.
In a programme full of contrast and offering an
embarrassement of riches, six of BCMG's brilliant
musicians perform superbly crafted pieces from the last
30 years. Some are tiny, others more substantial and
many pay tribute to music of the past.
Stockhausen's Tierkreis is inspired by signs of the Zodiac
and Aldo Clementi's Berceuse is performed as a tribute;
to the last of the great Italian 20th century modernists,
who died almost a year ago to the day in March 2011.
Pre Concert Performance
In the spirit of passing on the Olympic torch, BCMG and
their composer in residence have been working with the
exceptionally gifted young musicians of South West Music
School. This short preconcert performance, by both BCMG
and SWMS musicians, showcases their work.
