Free concerts return to Wolverhampton Art Gallery

Wolverhampton Art Gallery has reintroduced its free Friday lunchtime musical performances.

The concerts are organised by the Wolverhampton Music Education Hub to give young musicians the chance to perform in special spaces away from their schools.
 
Each show at the Lichfield Street gallery features a range of music from classical to contemporary – and most stops in between.
 
The 2017 programme begins today (Friday) with a performance from students from Coppice Performing Arts School.
 
Members of the ‘Coppice Senior Vocal Group’ will be performing vocal arrangements of medleys from ‘Les Misérables’ and ‘Blood Brothers’, plus ‘Fix You’, and a vocal solo from Zak Bartlett.
 
Cllr John Reynolds, Wolverhampton’s cabinet member for City Economy, said: “If you are looking for something to do on a lunchtime then come and spend it in the Georgian Room at Wolverhampton Art Gallery.
 
“We have a spectacular programme arranged for 2017, where young students from across the city will be singing and playing instruments for your entertainment, for free.
 
“It would be great for people to go along and show their support.”
 
All the concerts will start at 1.10pm and future dates include February 10, March 10 and 24, May 19, June 16 and 30, and July 14.
