Excellent to be part of an artistic flourishing in Kent; Rochester Grammar School has created the Dame Sybil Thorndike Arts Centre within its grounds and set about making it a viable artistic and commercial concern. All power to Richard et al; their elbows and all other sharp points. These will require to keep it wonderful is this current climate.
However, no casue for concern for the first two events - both sell-outs; firstly The James Taylor Quartet [how splendid], and then us...
Also performing before our concert was the girls' choir NChant, excellently led by Choral Director, Carolynn Woodman... Rochester GS is that very rare thing, a secondary school specialising in music... and the girls showed how delighted they are to have an excellent Arts Centre in which to perform.
There are many other choirs, and instrumental opportunities at the school and further afield in Kent... great to see local youth music having such strength in depth.
The members of Nchant were lovely enough to enjoy our pearls of wisdom to them in a quick workshop/performance in the afternoon; however it is clear that Carolynn trains them excellently...
A glorious vocal evening for the good people of Rochester...[& I was back in my house by 11.50pm]... we wish the Arts Centre every success...
