: The Boyd Neel String Orchestra
Leader, Frederick GrinkeConductor, Boyd Neel
John Hunt (pianoforte)
The Boyd Neel Orchestra is probably the most famous chamber orchestra in Britain. Not only has the orchestra broadcast frequently for some years and established itself as an instrument of superfine quality, but it is equally well-known on the concert platform. No higher compliment could have been paid to it than when it was invited to play last year at the Salzburg Festival-the first occasion that a non-Austrian orchestra had ever been engaged.
The conductor, Boyd Neel , has had an interesting career. Born in London thirty-one years ago, he began his career as a medical student at Caius College, Cambridge, finally taking his medical degrees and becoming house surgeon at St. George's Hospital, where he remained for four years. His great hobby was music, and in an amateur capacity he sang in opera and played the clarinet. Finally, the call of music became too strong, and he

In 1933 he returned to England and formed his own orchestra, which consists for the most part of young and keen musicians.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
