The Melodians took a short summer break from rehearsals during August but they still found time on Saturday 20th August to record the ‘Toreador’ by Bizet. This was for the BBC’s first Virtual Orchestra which will be part of the Last Night of the Proms Celebrations on Saturday September 10. The Virtual Orchestra film will be shown at Proms in the Parks across the UK and will be available on iPlayer 5pm on Saturday September 10. See also www.bbc.co.uk/getplaying.
