Buckingham Palace Music Day
|
It was a great honour to be invited to Buckingham Palace by Her Majesty The Queen to celebrate British Music and its contribution to the UK economy and culture. More than 500 guests attended the evening reception, representing a diverse range of talents, expertise and achievements in the British Music Industry. Earlier in the day, a concert was held in the ballroom to recognise and encourage the contribution of young people to music, and to acknowledge the importance of that contribution to the future of British Music. The programme included a range of musical styles and showed the quality and diversity of young musical talent. A new award for musical excellence was announced, The Queen's Medal for Music. The purpose of the award is to raise the general profile of music in the UK and to reward individuals who have had a major influence on the musical life of the nation. The award is to be overseen by a committee chaired by Master of The Queen's Music, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.
