Charitable Trust to be Established
As part of the recent review of the Centre’s funding, we intend to create a charitable trust which will help to support the work of the Centre, reduce dependence on Council funding, and help to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Centre. Further details will be announced early in 2012, but at the moment we are looking for initial declarations of interest from potential subscribers. More information is available on the Charitable Trust page. | | | |
New CD Released
| | "Aye Spy", the Centre's 11th annual CD, was launched at our Christmas Concert on Saturday 10th December. It's now available for purchase directly from us at our Products page, and, for the first time, it will be available soon to download at other outlets - watch this space for details.
The production of the Centre’s annual CD is the focal point of the whole academic year, and the material on it is selected from all the live performance arrangements produced that year. We're very proud once again of the quality of the performances and the range of styles and repertoire on this year's album. | | | |
