Carmina Burana has become a favourite with concert-goers and made a lasting mark on the choral landscape since its first appearance in the 1930s.

Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana is renowned for its dynamism and energetic drive, as well as scenes of great tenderness, it captures life’s turning with the Wheel of Fortune: the awakening of love in spring, wild scenes in the tavern, a swan whose fortunes end roasting on a spit, and the eventual submission and rejoicing in the will of the flesh. An hour of high entertainment, this concert will also feature songs by the CCS Youth Choir and other short items.

Sun 26 April

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
