Students to perform ‘carnival of sights and sounds’
20 May 2013
Now in its 35th year, Estival is Manchester’s biggest student arts festival, a showcase for the city’s most talented young musicians.
A carnival of sights and sounds, there is no better way to celebrate the end of exams. The Estival Hub, opposite the Cosmo Rodewald Concert Hall, at the Martin Harris Centre, is a brilliantly decorated place to relax in between concerts, whilst enjoying informal impromptu performances too!
With twelve concerts in four days, from 4 to 7 June, it’s an action-packed festival of music making with daily lunchtime, beat-the-rush-hour and evening performances, which is guaranteed to thrill.
Highlights of this year’s Estival include the Grade 1 Orchestra, Wind Orchestra and Josh Asquith playing Weber’s Bassoon Concerto.
The climax of the festival is the Symphony Orchestra concert where University of Manchester Symphony Orchestra will perform two newly commissioned works as well as Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances.
