Broadcasts
The choir gave the first broadcast performances of Henryk Górecki’s Miserere and Three Lullabies on BBC Radio 3 in the presence of the composer in 1993, and has since featured several times on radio and television. Tracks from our CDs are played regularly, both at home and overseas. Radio 3 broadcast The Gallant Weaver, from our MacMillan CD in January 2013, for example, while Netherlands Radio 4 aired two numbers from our Granville Bantock compilation in October 2009.
