On the Record Album 12 – Climate Change
|
For the twelfth record in the series young music makers from across Somerset have chosen taken on an issue that affects us all.
|
You will hear responses to the effect of Climate Change on the natural world, through demands for action, ways we can change things, and reflections on politics and the climate change campaign.
|
The music has been especially written, recorded and produced by young people in collaboration with Actiontrack with support from Sound Foundation Somerset.
|
|
To help offset the plastic requirement of this album it has been released with a limited hard copy, through download with the code available on a free recycled and recyclable water bottle and online – Search ontherecordproject on Bandcamp – or Actiontrack on Spotify and iTunes.

Young composers receive support in 2020 - Centre for Young Musicians Taunton
|
Centre for Young Musicians Taunton (CYMT) has received a grant of £2,000 from The Michael Tippett Musical Foundation to help run a new programme in 2020 called ‘CYMT Young Composers’. The Centre will host a visiting composer for several visits each term and their role will be to support and work with young composers developing their own new music.
|
|
|
“We are delighted to receive the grant from The Michael Tippett Musical Foundation as it will enable CYMT to support and develop young composers’ creativity in whatever style of music they are pursuing. There will be group and individual sessions and regular performances so this is a golden opportunity and one we hope many of our young musicians will seize. We offer composition workshops for students aged 8 – 18 of all abilities and these lead to exciting world premieres each term. It's a melting-pot of creativity and we are looking forward to helping students take their compositions to the next level.” - Head of Centre, Rachael Parvin
