BBC Radio 3 to run radio production workshops at Southbank Centre
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 30 January 2014
BBC Radio 3 has announced that it will run a series of radio production workshops in March, as part of a residency for the station at London’s Southbank Centre. The residency will also see a temporary studio built in the Royal Festival Hall, where members of the public can come and watch shows being broadcast.
A free, open session called ‘From The Concert Hall To Your Radio’ will run on 23 Mar and 29 Mar. In this talk, BBC technicians will discuss the process of a broadcasting a live performance, with a look specifically at the complexities of recording the organ. There will also be one-on-one sessions with BBC sound engineers to build a multitrack recording.
For those less technically minded, there will be a concert featuring young classical musicians on 23 Mar, as well as free lunchtime performances from clarinettist Mark Simpson on 21 Mar and saxophonist Trish Clowes on 28 Mar.
The events were announced yesterday as part of Radio 3’s spring season, which will also feature a new series from Norman Lebrecht about the relationship between music and Jewish identity, a day of music in celebration of Ravel’s birthday, and a new series of interviews with composers in their workspaces.
