Have you noticed the flowers blooming? Can you hear the birdsong? This week, Spring officially arrives, and we’ve got an impressive catalogue of events to help you get busy and embrace the warmer days.
Music is the theme for this week, with a sprinkling of visual arts and theatre.
Handpicked from the Guernsey Arts Cultural Calendar, here’s your lineup of creative events!
Kicking it off strong, we have another fabulous evening of music at St James.
Taking place from 19:00 this Friday 15 March, the eclectic ‘New Movement Ensemble’ will take to stage for a set of musical story-telling, melodicism, improvisation and groove.
“New Movement Ensemble is a collective of musicians and friends who have spent the last decade creating music and challenging each other to express themselves honestly. Having met in London in the early 2010s, the group draw their inspirations from the wide breadth of artistic and cultural wealth the city has to offer.”
If you’re dreaming of embarking on a musical journey that knows no limits, save the space in your diary and secure your spot in the crowd today! Tickets available HERE.
Continuing the musical theme but springing into a new genre; this Friday 15 March marks the first of the St Saviour’s Church concert series.
Starting at 19:30 and in the brilliant setting of the church, the concert series showcases musical highlights from across the island; bringing together audiences who love live music, bands, choirs and orchestras.
This week, the audience will be treated to a performance from the brilliant community choir, ‘Singing from the Heart’, and even a complimentary glass of wine!
No tickets are required and there is a retiring collection after the concert. Support local artists and charities, all while enjoying an evening of amazing music - what’s not to love?
For the last entry in this week’s musical lineup, we’re heading back to St James for an extraordinary night of rock, groove and surrealism.
Kicking off at 20:00 on Saturday 16 March; seasoned live performers, Tantale, return to the stage to recreate their fourth studio album, ‘Where Nothing Ends’.
“Tantale’s album ‘Where Nothing Ends’ is a delight. So many different vibes as they cross genres from grunge to blues to indie and everything in between. I’m a fan.” - Emma Scott, The Pluggin Baby Radio Show
Supporting their electric performance will be the amazing Bare Minimum, a ‘power band’ comprised of five talented and established local musicians, with a focus on crafting music with intention.
Adding that special touch; stage decor and visuals will be provided by Kooky Styling, Beeswing Productions and GLC laser Lighting. Tunes between sets by the brilliant Flexagon.
Don’t miss your chance to catch this brilliantly varied night of music - pick up your tickets HERE today!
If you’re looking for something a little different to add some excitement to your week, this could certainly be the event for you.
Next Thursday 21 March at 19:00, the Princess Royal Centre for Performing Arts welcomes you into the theatre to feast your eyes on a “fierce and funny” screening of this new play by Jack Thorne.
The story takes place in 1964 and follows actor Richard Burton, who is to play the title role in an experimental new Broadway production under John Gielgud’s exacting direction. As rehearsals progress, two ages of theatre collide and the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel.
Save the date, and snap up your tickets HERE before they’re all gone!
