Beginning with a Sneeze: The National Youth Orchestra Folk Explosion

Jane Shuttleworth, 13th April

Composers have a long tradition of incorporating folk tunes into their music, and this evening’s concert by the National Youth Orchestra, with support from members of the folk group Bellowhead, really proved the point that musical genres are not separate boxes, but just points on a continuum, with no fixed boundaries.
