Don\u2019t miss the incredibly varied programme for our Easter Concert on Weds 6th April<\/strong> at 7.30pm in the Galvanising Workshop when music students perform a lively array of scored and improvised music that encompasses Elgar, Adele, Bowie, Duke Ellington and drumming from Senegal.<\/p>\n

In addition to the University Orchestra (Medway)<\/strong> performing the first movement of Edward Elgar\u2019s\u00a0Serenade in E minor<\/em> in an orchestral arrangement prepared for this concert, the Chamber Ensemble<\/strong> perform works by Maurice Emmanuel and Luigi Boccherini.<\/p>\n

The Chamber Choir<\/strong> will sing a range of songs that include Adele\u2019s\u00a0Skyfall<\/em> Bond Theme, and Life on Mars<\/em>, by David Bowie who sadly died earlier this year.\u00a0 The Little Big Band<\/strong> play work that includes George Shearing and Duke Ellington, whilst the Jazz Improvisation Ensembles<\/strong> perform Miles Davis, Kenny Dorham, Sidney Bechet and a Handel arrangement.<\/p>\n

And the World Percussion Ensemble<\/strong> presents Kumpo, traditional djembe drumming from Senegal in our own concert version.<\/p>\n

So there is definitely something for everyone \u2013 a feast for the ears!<\/p>\n

And the day before, Tuesday April 5th <\/strong>at 12 noon, there is another popular Ensemble Performance Lunchtime Concert when you can hear our students studying band and ensemble playing.<\/p>\n

Both events take place in the Galvanising Workshop, Chatham Historic Dockyard.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget the Popular Music Gig on April 7th<\/strong>, 8pm until late, takes place at Cargo Bar, Liberty Quays, showcasing bands from the School of Music & Fine Art who will perform sets of original material and covers.
