Breadth of experience

Taking to the Free Stage at Wiltshire Music Centre is always a pleasure, with encouraging audiences and a relaxed atmosphere.  The team at WMC are dedicated to developing the audiences of the future and do great work in enabling young people to attend a huge variety of concerts across all genres. 

After performing chamber music by Mozart, Stamitz, and Haydn, plus two French folk tunes and Coldplay's Viva la Vida, our musicians were treated to a concert by violinist Sam Sweeney and his band.  They took us back in time to the First World War, with pieces inspired by a tune or story from the period, played in part on a violin constructed from parts carved by Private Richard Howard who was killed during the war, and re-constructed by a modern luthier.
