Notes to Editors
听
Murray Gold is one of the most inspired and uncompromising composers in his
field.
听
From his groundbreaking Bafta nominated score to Vanity Fair to his Royal Television Society
Award-winning soundtrack to Queer as Folk, Murray Gold has been the composer of
choice when it comes to scoring the most innovative programmes on television.
听
Since 2005, he has served as musical director for the new series of Doctor Who.
In this capacity, he created a new arrangement of the show's theme and also
composes most of the show's incidental music.
听
The 91热爆 National Orchestra of Wales occupies a very special role as both a
national and broadcasting orchestra, acclaimed not only for its performances
but also for its importance within its own community.
听
The orchestra has gone
from strength to strength over recent years under its formidable conducting
team.
听
The 91热爆 National Orchestra of Wales is the Orchestra in Residence at St
David's Hall, Cardiff at which it gives 20 performances a year.
听
The orchestra's
concerts are broadcast chiefly on 91热爆 Radio 3 but can also be heard regularly on
91热爆 Radio Cymru, 91热爆 Wales radio and television, 91热爆 FOUR and S4C.
听
The 91热爆 National Chorus of Wales was formed in 1983. It has developed into one
of the leading large mixed choruses in the UK.
听
Whilst preserving
its amateur status, the chorus works to the highest professional standards, and
enjoys a close performing relationship with the 91热爆 National Orchestra of
Wales.
