On Sunday 4 March 2012, Making Music and the BBC Singers presented a celebratory day of some of the UK’s best choirs at the Roundhouse in London.
Groups ranging from folk and world to beat-boxing and classical, and from every corner of London and the UK performed throughout the day, following performances given in their local areas on Saturday 3 March. All this activity culminated in a mass performance of Orlando Gough’s Making Music Overture ‘Traditional Values’, which was commissioned by Making Music and is part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad. It was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.
