Tony Staveacre presents a programme celebrating
100 years of music-making by the Bournemouth Orchestras.
The Bournemouth
Corporation Band was the first permanent, fully-paid municipal orchestra in the UK. The story of the early years is told by author
Sean Street and musician
Ray Carpenter.
In a special concert from the Winter Gardens, a band of Bournemouth brass and wind players, directed by ex-BSO clarinettist Anthony Godwin , recreate the sound of the first Bournemouth Municipal Band.
