As temperatures soared and the weather became balmier, Summer Music Week<\/strong> launched over the weekend in the first two events of this year’s annual celebration of the musical year at Kent.<\/p>\n

\"\"On Friday, the University Chamber Choir and Consort<\/strong> gave an electrifying concert in the Crypt of Canterbury Cathedral, for which they were joined by composer and violinist Anna Phoebe<\/strong> in three evocative movements from Anna’s\u00a0Between Worlds<\/em>, an exploration of music and science that receives its full premiere later this week. Second-year student Hannah Ost<\/strong> led the choir in a piece in the first half as part of a wide-ranging programme that received huge applause from a packed crypt audience.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"And yesterday, conductor Ian Swatman<\/strong> bravely headed out to the seaside with the University Big Band<\/strong>, to entertain a Sunday crowd at the Memorial Bandstand at Deal, including guest vocal appearances from final-year student Fleur Sumption<\/strong> and first-year Elle Soo.<\/strong> Sea, sunshine and swing – perfect conditions for a perfect day.<\/p>\n

\"\"Well done to everyone involved; Day Three of Summer Music Week today features the University Rock Choir in action. Find out all that’s going on throughout the week here.<\/p>\n
