Summer Music Week launches Sunday 6 June

The launch event of this year’s Summer Music Week, the Music Department’s annual musical farewell to the academic year, takes place this Sunday, features the University Big Band, and will be livestreamed for the first time!

The concert launches this year’s more modest event series, and features final-year Social Anthropology student, Elle Soo, singing with the band, conducted as usual by the irrepressible Ian Swatman. It will be a welcome return to live music-making in Colyer-Fergusson for the first time since last year, and the inaugural livestreaming of a formal public concert by the Music Department.

Tickets for a socially-distanced live audience have sold out, but the event can be enjoyed live online on the Music Department’s YouTube channel.

The livestream will then remain online for future viewing.
