Music and Language in the South East

Available for over a year

Presented by Kate Molleson In a continuing series about music and language around the British Isles, Kate is in the South East to meet the Kent-based folk singer Chris Wood, and explores how the region's English-speaking Romany communities are exchanging words and songs with European Roma migrants. Kate also meets the American trumpeter, band leader, composer and educator Wynton Marsalis, who has been in London this month for concerts with his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. And as the new music organisation CoMA (Contemporary Music for All) celebrates 25 years, we hear the experiences of amateur musicians from the organisation's national network of instrumental and vocal ensembles.
