CantiaQuorum, the Music department’s new ensemble-in-residence, launches on Friday 14 November with Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale and Walton’s Facade – and some very special guests.

The evening concert brings devilish entertainment as the ensemble will unfold Stravinsky’s pin-sharp morality tale; and there’s a special element to the Walton, as the narrators for Facade are drawn from the local and the University community, including the Director of Music at Canterbury Cathedral, David Flood, the Chief Executive of Canterbury City Council, Colin Carmichael, fourth-year Drama student and Music Scholar, Emma Murton, Professor Keith Mander, and our own Music Administrator, Sophie Meikle, whose dulcet Glaswegian tones will lend extra relish to Sitwell’s verse!

Tickets and further details about the concert are available on the Gulbenkian webpages and you can read an interview with Alex Caldon about the formation of CantiaQuorum on this music blog.
