Guildhall celebrates new building with 'hard hat prom'
A rendering of the proposed Milton Court development
A UNIQUE OPEN-AIR CONCERT WILL TAKE PLACE IN LONDON THIS MONTH TO CELEBRATE THE GUILDHALL SCHOOL OF MUSIC & DRAMA'S NEW DEVELOPMENT, MILTON COURT, WHICH WILL OPEN IN 2012.
On 25 November, Paul Archibald, the school's head of
woodwind, brass and percussion, will direct a 'hard hat
prom' concert of music by Mussorgsky and Strauss, and John
Williams' Star Wars theme. The concert will also include
saxophone ensemble and samba band features.
Costing £90m, the Milton Court complex will include a
609-seat concert hall, a 225-seat theatre and a 128-seat studio
theatre in addition to drama teaching and administration spaces.
Professor Barry Ife, principal of the Guildhall School, said:
'This concert is a small thank you to our neighbours for their
patience while we redevelop Milton Court and a foretaste of future
delights.'
