Thanks for all your commitment and contribution to music-making here at Kent during your time; and remember: whatever you do, make music!
It’s that time of the year when students and their families are thronging to cathedrals in Canterbury and Rochester to take part in their Graduation ceremonies (cue lots of photos of mortar-boards being hurled in celebratory fashion into the air!).
This year, we have seven Music Scholarship students graduating, of whom five will be doing so with first-class degrees; congratulations to them all – it just goes to show that good musicians do indeed make good students…
Best wishes to everyone involved in music-making who will be graduating over these two weeks!
Because it does. Doesn't it ? Blogging about extra-curricular musical life at the University of Kent.
