Ignite your musical senses with the Lunchtime Concert series from the Music Department at the University of Kent. Law firm Furley Page has sponsored the concerts for over twenty-five years and is proud to continue supporting the programme, which makes live musical performances accessible to a wide audience.
Offering a diverse line-up, the concerts are designed to improve mental wellbeing, inspire musical talent and increase engagement with the arts. The stunning venue, Colyer-Fergusson Hall, has played host to numerous outstanding artists throughout the years, and is part of the Kent University Campus in Canterbury.
The season kicks off on Wednesday 5th November with two twentieth-century masterpieces for violin and piano, performed by the exciting young violinist, Elodie Chousmer-Howelles and pianist Stella Marie Lorenz. The following month, Wednesday 3rd December, heralds the Christmas period with Medieval Carols provided by Ancient Music Promotions.
Jeremy Licence, Managing Partner at Furley Page, said:
“It is a privilege to support this series and the talented musicians it brings to Kent. In this, Furley Page’s 300th anniversary year, we are particularly pleased to note the firms long-standing sponsorship of the University of Kent Music Department’s Lunchtime Concerts.” It is a testament to our commitment to our local community, and to the University’s excellent programme, that we have maintained this relationship over several decades.”
“We are delighted to continue our successful relationship with Furley Page,” enthused Head of Music Performance at the University, Dan Harding, “whose generous support over the years has allowed us to bring exceptional musicians to the Canterbury campus; to engage with both the University community and local audiences, and to work with some of our musical students in workshops, developing their skills and offering them the opportunity to learn from leading professional musicians.”
