It incorporated the Welsh Music Archive which was founded in 1976 and was similar to the Scottish Music Information Centre in Glasgow and the British Information Centre in London with a role of collecting scores by Welsh composers. It received the support of the Welsh Arts Council. An exhibition of scores and memorabilia housed at WMIC was held at the Viriamu Jones Gallery, University College, Cardiff, March 1984. The centre closed in March 1997 after the Arts Council withdrew its funding in December 1996.

  • The BBC National Orchestra of Wales Is the Nation's Only Full-Time
    CC(3) AC 11 Communities and Culture Committee Inquiry into the „accessibility of arts and cultural activities in Wales‟ Submission by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales We are grateful for the opportunity to provide evidence for the Committee‟s Inquiry. The first part of our submission provides an overview of the Orchestra‟s work. The second part addresses a number of questions posed in the consultation letter. A. Background The BBC National Orchestra of Wales (BBC NOW) is the nation‟s only full-time professional symphony orchestra. It has an established reputation as one of the leading orchestral ensembles in the UK. It has won considerable audience and critical acclaim in recent years, under its conducting team, led by Thierry Fischer. The Orchestra‟s home is the newly-built Hoddinott Hall at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, and it produces extensive output for BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru. With the crucial funding support of Arts Council Wales, the Orchestra has also developed a major national role, touring throughout Wales each year (this role is described in more detail in our response to question 1) and delivering a highly-regarded community outreach and education programme (please see our response to question 2). In any one season, BBC NOW strives to present a broad repertoire of both past and contemporary music to allow audiences to experience works drawn from the whole panoply of orchestral music – from the baroque to present day film and jazz. The Orchestra works with a wide range of contemporary composers and has two positions specifically for composers within its artistic roster.

Consequently, it was with some confidence that Elgar looked forward to the premiere of his Second Symphony, two and a half years later. Yet at the premiere, conducted by the composer at Queen's Hall, London, on 24 May 1911, many of the seats were empty and its reception lacked enthusiasm. "What is the matter with them?" Elgar asked the orchestral leader, W.H. Reed, "They sit there like a lot of stuffed pigs." With hindsight, it is not difficult to understand the audience's reaction. The Second Symphony is one of Elgar's finest achievements, but it is also one of his most complex and ambivalent.

YFor the best part of half a century Arwel was a popular em bodiment of Welsh Music – not just as a distinguished composer but as con ductor, broadcaster, adjudicator, organist and much else besides. In public terms he was for many years head of music at the BBC in Wales and thus a familiar voice on radio and face on television. He was also closely involved throughout his career with the National Eisteddfod of Wales and the celebrated Llangollen International Eisteddfod. It has, indeed, been argued that Arwel Hughes’s single-minded devotion to the general improvement of musical standards through out Wales was to some extent achieved at the expense of his own com posi tional development.
