Stage is set for musical treats
THE sixth Music@Malling Festival will run from September 23 to October 1, presenting an eclectic mix of music performed by top international classical artists at venues in and around West Malling.
The event engages hundreds of young people in creative activities and performances and this year will include a major education project based around Peter and the Wolf. There will be workshops with Stile Antico and James Pearson, artistic director of Ronnie Scott’s, and opportunities for young composers from Kent to be mentored by professional composers and musicians.
The festival will feature the music of contemporary composers alongside classical, jazz, vocal, world and film music and has themes that commemorate World War I, a series of Bach Pilgrimages, and Shakespeare’s and Sinatra’s anniversaries.
Internationally acclaimed ensemble, Chamber Domaine, will perform Mozart and Bach in two stunning churches in Birling and Trottiscliffe, and the Control Tower at Kings Hill will host a
special recital featuring premieres from leading film composers such as John Williams and Ennio Morricone.
The festival’s artistic director, Thomes Kemp, said: “This is going to be a great festival with lots of amazing concerts to enjoy. I am particularly pleased that we are having events in Kings Hill for the first time and developing new audiences for the arts. I am also delighted that there are lots of opportunities for young people to engage with music.”
