It was great to have the studio filled with young talented musicians today.

Ann Elderton and Sam Edwards with the Jazz Band

The Brentwood Orchestra for Young Musicians a group of eight orchestras of varying ages and abilities, linked by the love of music and how much they enjoy playing together. We spent almost an hour today listening to them perform and chatting about their organisation. Unfortunately the gremlins got involved in the first song they played and there is a little jump in the recording at that point but the rest is fine.

You can listen to the whole session here –
