Together with the Canterbury Festival, we also bring a dark realisation of the story of Hansel and Gretel<\/em> in a blend of chamber music, puppetry and animation, with music written by composer Matthew Kaner<\/strong> to words by Simon Armitage<\/strong>; the Festival also brings percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie and Trio HLK<\/strong> in November. Elsewhere, Aurora Orchestra brings Mozart, Mendelssohn and Jorg Widmann, and there’s a chance to hear Sir Thomas Allen.<\/strong>\u00a0With visits too from local societies and orchestras, the new autumn season will see Colyer-Fergusson Hall filled with music old and new as we head towards the festive season.<\/p>\n

See all that\u2019s to come online here<\/strong><\/a>, or download the brochure (PDF) here<\/strong><\/a>; we look forward to welcoming you to Colyer-Fergusson over the coming months.<\/p>\n
