From Thanet to outer space!…..
More than 200 young musicians from Thanet will take their audience on a space odyssey in a special concert at the Winter Gardens, Margate.
A Musical Universe – A Schools’ Prom, presented by Kent Music and The Rotary Clubs of Thanet, will be performed at the atmospheric venue on Thursday March 21, from 6:30 to 9:30pm.
Young people from 12 local schools are taking part, as well as performers from Thanet Music Centre, run by Kent Music, and The Percussion School. The school pupils, aged between seven and 18, will represent Chatham and Clarendon Grammar School Federation, Chilton Primary, Drapers Mill Primary, Marlowe Academy, Ramsgate Holy Trinity Primary, St Ethelbert’s Catholic Primary, St Joseph’s Catholic Primary, St Lawrence College, St Saviour’s Juniors, The Foreland School, Upton Juniors and Westgate College for Deaf People.
Each group is invited to perform two pieces of their own choosing on the theme of space in a variety of musical line-ups and genres. All the performers come together to play a finale piece which this year is going to be Monty Python’s The Galaxy Song.
Tickets are free and available on the door.
