Royal Wedding – The Man Behind The Music
Royal Wedding – The Man Behind The Music
The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton will take place at Westminster Abbey this Friday.The buzz is reaching a fever pitch the world over as the extravaganza approaches. Newspapers, magazines, TV talk shows, websites… it’s everywhere. Even people living under rocks have heard about this one. And while nearly every aspect of the event—from the dresses to the flowers to the guest list—has been analyzed in painstaking detail, one thing we still haven’t heard a lot about is the music. The man behind it all is London Chamber Orchestra music director Christopher Warren-Green. He’s been extremely tight-lipped about the details but Cathy Fuller, who is heard weekday morning over on our sister station 99.5 All-Classical, recently spoke with him and was able to get him to offer a little insight.
