Recording for the BBC
CMA students made a recording for BBC radio 3’s ‘The Essay’, which takes 5 objects from the Museum of Music History’s archives, and reveals the stories they hold. A scrap of manuscript found on the battlefield after the Battle of Waterloo was recreated and performed by CMA brass and percussion.
