Part of a program of events to mark the reopening of the People's Palace
This evening’s concert is a historical survey through music and readings of the formation and development of Queen Mary, University of London. It takes as its starting point the formation of the original colleges of Queen Mary, Westfield College, Barts and London Colleges. Tributes will be especially paid to Constance Maynard, First Principal of Westfield College and Robert Tong, Registrar of Queen Mary College, both of whom had a significant influence on music and literature. The programme journeys through the amalgamation of these Colleges, and how music has contributed.
Alan Wilson, who has been Director of Music at QM since 1976, looks back over memorable musical moments.
The concert promises to be informative, musically inspiring, and conveying much joy and pride responding to the outreach of a great centre of learning and excellence.
It is to be given by the choir and orchestra of the QM Music Society, built up of students and staff from this College.
Director of Music: Alan Wilson.
