For young people 

Our Learning Resources website has lots of fun things to try at home with your young ones. Some of the resources are aimed at teachers and learning professionals but can easily be adapted for use in the home, or to spark ideas for fun musical games. 

You can also listen to the charming pieces created by young people in our Out-of-School workshops, Music Maze, Zigzag Ensemble and Creative Composing Lab on Bandcamp.

Podcasts

BCMG Artistic Director, Stephan Meier recorded two fascinating podcasts recently: one ahead of the world premiere  of Harrison Birtwistle's Sound Investment commission ... when falling asleep; the second in the lead up to the UK premiere of Rebecca Saunders' Scar.

YouTube

One of our most view videos on YouTube is BCMG flautist, Marie-Christine Zupancic's exploration of Brian Ferneyhough's Cassandra's Dream Song.

This is a thrilling look at a piece by a leading figurehead of modern complexity. Zupancic says 'this piece is unlike anything I've ever played in my 12 years with BCMG'!
