About
The BBC Concert Orchestra still very much has the same aims as it did when it first began in 1952, albeit with a much wider scope. As Barry Wordsworth says "The Orchestra is made up of musicians all of whom enjoy crossing the musical boundaries. It is a unit of people with incredibly wide-ranging tastes. It plays as broad a repertoire as possible in as stylish a fashion as possible." As well as continuing to appear every week on Friday Night is Music Night and in seasons of Melodies for You on BBC Radio . . . 2, it performs regularly on various BBC Radio 3 programmes, and has carved itself something of a niche on BBC Television, appearing on many shows including the Proms. They can also be heard providing the soundtracks to various BBC Television programmes, including The Blue Planet, Walking with Dinosaurs, The Key, Wild Down Under and Peter Ackroyd's London.
