About
A fascinating personal account of the preparation of the music for that quintessentially British ceremony, The Queen’s Birthday Parade. Graham will take us behind the scenes, giving us a unique insight into music selection, rehearsals and the big event itself, held every June on London’s Horseguards Parade. He’ll also ponder the relevance of music for such an event; is it truly relevant to today's modern world?
