This autumn, Kent Music is thrilled to be moving to a brand-new bespoke building in the exciting Creative Enterprise Quarter (CEQ) on Ashford’s Javelin Way.

Welcome, adventurers! After Orchestra ONE‘s 29th project, participants were asked what themes and ideas they’d be interested in exploring when Orchestra ONE met in the Summer of 2022, and Fantasy was a hugely popular choice.

In August 2021, Orchestra ONE (O1) returned for its 27th project and our first one face-to-face in nearly two years! It was absolutely wonderful to see so many familiar faces and to hear our young musicians making live music again.

Following the success of our first ever virtual Orchestra ONE (O1) course back in October, we were thrilled to welcome 17 young musicians who joined us via Zoom for Project 26. Our participants spent the second week of the Easter holidays composing a brand new piece on the topic of “Communication”.

2020 was a challenging year for all of us. For Orchestra ONE (O1), it meant that we were unable to hold our usual projects in the Easter and Summer holidays. However, in the October half term our fantastic participants and inspiring tutors came together for our first ever virtual O1 course. It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces again after nearly a year apart, and even better to welcome new participants to the O1 family.

Welcome to Day & Night Festival, a brand-new virtual music festival from Kent Music for summer 2020!

The Day & Night Festival isn’t just about hearing from us at Kent Music! Summer days, nights and music are for everyone, so we want to hear from you.

We were delighted to work with Sound Connections on their ‘Zoom In To Youth Voice‘ project this summer.

Kent Music is proud to celebrate young harpist Hannah Runting, who has been placed second in her category of the North London Harp Competition, a national event which is well-recognised in the music world.
