Since 1999 the band has been conducted by Spencer Down.
The band has recorded many times for BBC Television and Radio 3 and has performed in Britain's major concert halls including the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Symphony Hall Birmingham and the Barbican.

John Adams at 70: Grand Pianola Music

Joana Carneiro conductor
Cartoon capers and nostalgia remade in this technicolor 70th birthday toast to John Adams.
Every note of John Adams’s music is an exploration of the sounds that changed America. European romanticism, Looney Tunes, plus a shiny new work from thirty-something maverick composer Timo Andres: a concert that’s simultaneously nostalgic and forward-looking, as Adams is himself.
So take nothing for granted. You might find yourself relaxing into the lush world of Adams’s Grand Pianola Music – but the cartoon-inspired mayhem of Chamber Symphony? Blink and you miss it. It’s all part of the composer's new world, a potent inspiration to young American voices like Timo Andres. Under the powerhouse direction of Joana Carneiro, this will glow like neon.
John Adams : Chamber Symphony
Timothy Andres : Steady Hand for two pianos and orchestra
Philip Glass : Music in Similar Motion
