How classical music shaped society | Young Creators Lab

Inspired by original music scores from our collection, in this film our Young Creators travel back in time to send personal fan mail to classical composers Franz Schubert, Ludvig van Beethoven and Ethel Smith – who each shaped society in different ways through their music.

Young Creators Lab is a digital content creation programme for 18 – 24 year olds, opening up the wonders of the British Library’s collection for audiences around the world. Find out more: https://www.bl.uk/learning/young-crea...
