Newly discovered Elgar manuscript
听
The 鈥榓ndante鈥�, dating back to 1924, was notated on a musical manuscript and then signed by the great composer.

In session
听
All of the members of the family have been influenced by the folk sounds of First Aid Kit and Of Monsters and Men, and also stalwarts of mainstream pop - from Ed Sheeran to Annie Lennox.
听
'The Fireside Family' have been delighting audiences around the country since 2014.

主播大秀 Music Introducing in Ledbury
听
It's owned by the Ledbury Amateur Dramatic Society and built on the site of the old Market Theatre which used the be the only venue of its kind in Herefordshire for 18 years! That was between 1961 and 1979.
听
The old theatre almost burnt down in the '80s by an accidental fire behind the building - but the damage was repaired by young offenders.
听
Then, over 10 years later, when it was being demolished to make way for the theatre we see today, it caught fire AGAIN - which the dramatic society say could have been the poltergeist of the old building refusing to be upstaged and insisting on going out in style!
听
Nowadays, it's run entirely by volunteers and they host a range of performances from plays to state-of-the-art cinema screenings and music events.
听
Music education
听
That's according to a new report by the Music Commission - which argues that schools are failing to engage young people in lessons.
听
It also found that students, that do have a big interest, are not being supported enough to take it further.
听
We investigate what the situation's like here in Herefordshire & Worcestershire.

主播大秀 Music Introducing in Droitwich
听
The 176-seat venue, which is run by local volunteers, hosts a variety of events from plays, cinema screenings and live streaming from the West End.
听
The venue is situated inside Norbury House, an Art Deco building which started life as a luxury hotel - although it's role of putting up guests overnight was reasonably short-lived, having been used as a military hospital in WWII.
听
The Norbury Theatre came into being in 1962 for the sole purpose for local amateur societies having a venue to perform at.
听
Nowadays, they share Norbury House with 96 flats. The theatre takes up the largest area of the building, including dressing rooms on the first floor, extensive properties storage in the cellars and scenery in the old kitchens! Not forgetting, of course, the auditorium, foyer and stage!
听
The event takes place between 2pm and 6pm and admission is free.
