Romney Reminder

Two exciting classical music concerts are promised on the evenings of 7th and 8th July in Romney Marsh. After selling out last year, London-based JAM is returning to the Marsh with concerts that offer a vibrant mix of new and old classical music. St Leonard's Church in Hythe hosts the first concert on Friday 7th July and St Nicholas Church in New Romney is the venue for the evening of Saturday 8th July.


JAM was founded a decade ago to encourage, nurture and commission new talents, whilst also performing older classics. So the Hythe concert will feature the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE) playing a specially commissioned piece by composer Julia Bingham called, fittingly, The Hythe, as well as Pergolesi's Stabat Mater and the achingly beautiful Handel organ concerto. The concert starts at 7.30pm, but there is a pre-concert talk by Julia Bingham at 6.45pm.


The New Romney concert will feature the Chapel Choir of Selwyn College, Cambridge, Onyx Brass and organist Simon Horgan. The programme features Zadok the Priest (celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee), Parry's I was Glad and newer works including a further piece by Julia Bingham.
