Looking forward to the Summer break, West Norfolk Music Centre members have been invited to join with the Thetford Voices summer programme, A Menagerie of Songs.

The programme is looking to repeat the expanded workshop pattern of 2014 with sessions for Toddlers and older children/young people in addition to the Main course. Note that this year there is a deliberate overlap between the 6-16 and 15+ course, enabling older participants to go for either or both.

The team is the same as last year, and this year’s theme has thrown up another lively and interesting range of songs.

For more information and a booking form, look at the Menageries Leaflet.

 

Come and enjoy a range of events at King’s Lynn Festival.

This year’s festival tickets for Under 18s are nearly all half the normal price, with tickets starting from as little as £3, thanks to financial support from the Ruth Fermoy Memorial Fund.

Budding pianists, clarinettists and composers will not want to miss the Contemporary Consort on Monday 13 July at 6.15pm where there will be a talk by leading British composer Howard Skempton.  Tickets for U18s are just £5 including complimentary drink and a chance to meet the artists.

Folk music fans will enjoy the Capercaillie concert on Tuesday 21 July – see this Celtic Folk Supergroup for just £11.

Jazz fans can see one of the UK’s best Swing Bands – King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys for just £8 on Friday 24 July.

With the Christmas season rapidly approaching, are you short of gift ideas for the person who’s already got everything? Are you hoping for something for your children which will last beyond Boxing Day?

Why not give the gift of music, with West Norfolk Music Centre. A course of music lessons with us, or membership with one of our groups, is a gift which could introduce someone to the lifelong pleasure of making music.

If you’re not sure whether to go for piano, wind, brass, strings or something else, contact us and we’ll help you work out what might be suitable, or we might be able to arrange a try-out session.
