We are delighted to announce that one of our final-year students from the Department of Modern Languages has won a University music prize.
Jennifer Morgan, who has just finished her BA (Hons) in French and Hispanic Studies, was awarded the Canterbury Festival Prize, presented by Festival Director Rosie Turner. The prize is awarded to a final-year student who has made an outstanding contribution to music at the University.
Jennifer has been Principle double bass in Symphony Orchestra, bassist in Concert Band, star electric bassist for the Big Band, and our 1930s dance orchestra, General Harding’s Tomfoolery. Throughout her final two years, Jennifer was a Music Performance Award holder, and was Social Media Representative on the Music Society Committee this year.
The prize was awarded on Tuesday 6 June, during Summer Music Week, at a special presentation alongside a music scholars’ lunchtime recital.
