BOURNEMOUTH SINFONIETTA

Early day motion 284, tabled 18 January 2000 by Peter Brand (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 30 members.

That this House recognizes the vital role played by regional orchestras; believes that the Bournemouth Orchestra's disbanding of the Bournemouth Sinfonietta much diminishes the cultural life of the South and the South-West; and calls on the Department of Culture, Media and Sport to restore access to high-quality music in smaller venues in the South and South-West.
