The Bloomsbury Band is 10 years old.  The Band had planned a celebratory concert for Saturday 2 May 2020. Former members of the Band were invited to come and play with the ensemble. The concert has had to be postponed. When possible, the programme will include new music for flute and clarinet choir which music director, David Morris, has commissioned new pieces for from four composers.

Ten years ago the Bloomsbury Woodwind Ensemble was well established. The length of the waiting list for clarinet and flute players had grown so long that the committee wondered what to do about it - bearing in mind that one of our objectives has always been to provide opportunities to play and perform for as many wind players as possible. After a good deal of debate we decided to go ahead and set up a second ensemble which began life as a flute and clarinet choir which we called BWE2.

David and the members of the Band have made a great success of the venture over the last ten years. We have no regrets about the decision to go ahead. The image shows BWE2 (as it then was) performing at Lumen URC in December 2013.
