BBC groups to join forces for Ives recording

[Highams]

The BBC (Elstree Studios) Concert Band has been invited to collaborate with the BBC Symphony Orchestra in a radio broadcast about the music of Charles Ives.

Our contribution will be to record some 1920's/1930's music of the sort which influenced Ives' own compositions. We will also join forces with the orchestra, a choir and a "marching band" to create some "Ives-like cacophony".

All this will happen on familiar ground, in BBC Maida Vale 1, on Sunday October 26 - rehearsing in the morning and recording in the afternoon for BBC Radio 3

More details as we get them.
