LAST night on BBC2 Charles Hazlewood (La B, Ma A 78-85) launched his latest TV series The Birth of British Music with a look at the life and works of Purcell. Among those taking part was the organ builder Dominic Gwynn (Pe A 64-71). Upcoming episodes will focus on Handel, Haydn and Mendelssohn.
Among his other achievements Charles has won three Sony awards for hosting The Charles Hazlewood Show on Radio 2.
Next Saturday he and his orchestra Army of Generals will begin their residency at Bristol's Colston Hall by performing at the opening of its new foyer spaces. The hall takes its name from Edward Colston, philanthropist and slave trader, a private pupil at CH c. 1650 and later a Governor and benefactor.
