Miriam Skinner
Miriam Skinner explores the quirky, peculiar and sometimes surprising connections that link the music tracks in her personal selection.
Miriam Skinner plays cello in the 成人快手 Philharmonic based in Greater Manchester. It's a city renowned for its industry, its symbol is the worker bee, which you can find everywhere on street signs, tattoos and bollards. Miriam loves the community of the shop floor, joining her 90 orchestral colleagues to manufacture great music. It's all about collaboration, but then the co-operative movement did begin in this city. For Miriam, the sounds of the city are her musical connective tissue. And in this programme she introduces us to the music of the City of Workers from Malcolm Arnold's Peterloo to Holst鈥檚 Moorside Suite played by the Grimethorpe Colliery band to Joy Division and Eric Coates.
