Bands feature in Britain’s Big Platinum Performance 

Fulham Brass and East London Brass have been chosen to play their part in 'Britain's Big Platinum Performance' to help celebrate The Queen's Platinum Jubilee and Classic FM's 30th birthday. In association with the Making Music organisation, the popular classical music station has specially recorded seven successful ensembles to mark each decade of the monarch's reign, with the two London bands each chosen to perform a celebratory work which will be gifted to The Queen. 

Also featuring on the recording are a flute band from Scotland, a male voice choir from Wales, a symphonic wind ensemble from Birmingham, a brass quintet of former Royal Birmingham Conservatoire students, and a Manchester based chamber orchestra. Numerous musical groups from brass and wind orchestras to choral and chamber ensembles submitted recordings to be considered for the project, which were then judged on musicality and repertoire by a panel that included Classic FM presenter Myleene Klass, composers Debbie Wiseman and Paul Mealor, conductor Ken Burton and well-known freelance brass musician Carol Jarvis.  
 
Classic FM has already featured the recording which is sure to be heard many more times in the coming months.
