R3's recent record with American composer anniversaries is pretty appalling save for the odd 'well known on CFM' ones, so I don't hold out much hope for the Diamond Centenary except for a few broadcasts of the inevitable Rounds for String Orchestra, just about the only Diamond that R3 ever broadcast nowadays.
It is also Humphrey Searle's centenary as well as Jack Brymer and the still underrated Charles Groves.
Also forgot to add that it is Magnard's 150th birth anniversary, I wonder if R3 can do better than with his death centenary last year and the 300th anniversary of G C Wagenseil.
