BBC Hoddinott Hall 2017-18 BBC NOW: 90 Years of Music

BBC NOW gave its first performance on Thursday 12 April 1928 in the Assembly Rooms in City Hall, Cardiff. As the Radio Times announced that year, this was ‘A New Orchestra for Wales… appointed no longer as merely a studio orchestra, but brought into being expressly to function both nationally and civically’. 90 years to the day, we’ll re-live some of our earliest performances and notable moments from our history.
