Spring 2025 – recording news!

As an alternative to presenting a concert prior to Easter this year, BSW have undertaken a series of intensive rehearsals led by guest conductor Duncan Stubbs (ex. Principal Director of Music: RAF Music Services) in their new rehearsal venue of Penryn Hall, Winterfold School, Chaddesley Corbett.

The culmination of these sessions will be on Saturday 29 March, when BSW are joined by solo clarinettist Linda Merrick (Principal: Royal Northern College of Music) to perform and record two Clarinet Concertos, both of which she commissioned a few years ago.

Both composers (Martin Ellerby and Philip Sparke) intend to be present for this unique occasion which will add heightened excitement to the day.

Music Director of BSW, Keith Allen believes that the acoustics of Penryn Hall will compliment both the performance and recording of these pieces and provide a suitable conclusion to this venture.
