The event will be presented in three sessions with a one hour break between each session.

These will follow in chronological order of musical periods and each session will include both presentations and participant performances with comfort breaks. The cafe will be open throughout the day. And we will finish with a wonderful performance by Julian Hellaby.

Below are the target timings, although there will be some flexibility to accommodate students applying to perform as participants. Depending on demand some students may be asked to perform in a nearby room which is also furnished with a grand piano.
