Another programme in a series looking at how our multi-cultural society is being reflected in music education throughout the country. Today the spotlight falls on specialist music schools and colleges in Manchester, Leeds and Salford. There is orchestral music from the Chethams Music School Symphony Orchestra; big band jazz from Leeds College of Music and brass music from Salford University, whose brass band musicianship course is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Also featured are two of the Sainsbury's youth ensembles of the year - the Berkshire Youth Choir and the Young Sinfonia from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Presented by Lynne Walker.
