Content Developer: Discovering Music

The British Council has an opportunity to help deliver a new online resource, Discovering Music: Classical and Romantic. The resource will draw on the Library’s unique collections to support and enrich the study of music, tailored for teachers, students, young people, lifelong learners, academics and the general public. The ambition for this project is to create an inclusive and diverse resource that examines a broad range of music from the period 1750 to 1914. The coverage will embrace music in many genres and in relation to wider social, economic and political contexts.
