Welcome to the spnm jukebox. On this page you will be able to hear new works or extracts from new works which are featured on the recently produced spnm cd sampler Short cuts. As the 1999/2000 season unfolds more sound samples and information will be added to the Jukebox.

All composers on the CD received early performances from spnm. Brass Band, electroacoustic and jazz orchestra works jostle alongside string quartet and orchestral pieces. Each of the fourteen works available to you have been performed in spnm events over the past 2 years. This is only a small sample of the work we do!

Click on the track listing to listen to the extract, learn more about the composer and above all to share in the experience of something completely new!
