Our Autumn What’s On<\/em> is now out, and is bursting with events throughout October to December here in Colyer-Fergusson.<\/p>\n

Our termly\u00a0Lunchtime Concert series launches with percussion ensemble Kopanya<\/strong> in October; the acclaimed musicians of the Kentish Piano Trio<\/strong> bring Beethoven’s ‘Ghost’ Trio in November; and eminent sitar-player Ustad Dharambir Singh<\/strong> is joined by Pt Sanju Sahai on tabla for a recital in December,<\/p>\n

The University Chorus<\/strong> and Symphony Orchestra<\/strong> will be rounding-off the Shakespeare 400 anniversary in style with a concert including the suite from Walton\u2019s famous film score for Henry V<\/em>, and the Musical Theatre Society<\/strong> will present their ever-popular showcase. The season ends in rousingly festive style with the Big Band\u2019s Christmas Swing-Along<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Whatever you do, make sure you have Friday 25 November<\/strong> inked firmly in your diary for what promises to be a memorable concert, as internationally-renowned bass, Sir Willard White<\/strong>, joins forces with the Brodsky Quartet<\/strong> to pay tribute to the relationship between Frank Sinatra and the Hollywood String Quartet; the evening will also include folksongs by Britten and Copland, Barber\u2019s evocative Dover Beach<\/em>, a selection from Gershwin\u2019s Porgy and Bess<\/em>, the Great American Song Book \u2026and much more. Early booking is most definitely advisable! As ever, we also welcome the many visiting musicians to Colyer-Fergusson, including events promoted by both the Canterbury Festival<\/strong> and Sounds New<\/strong> and a birthday concert for Trevor Pinnock.<\/strong><\/p>\n
