The Philippe Lemm Trio is one of the most exciting and electrifying jazz trios around today. Comprised of three musicians with exceptional command of their instruments, the group's repertoire draws heavily from re-imaginations of jazz standards in a way that both defies genre and corresponds to any modern jazz fan.

Winners of the International B-Jazz competition as well as the prize for the best soloist, this concert is part if their European tour following the release of their new CD ‘City Birds’.

Hearing the trio is a special and unforgettable experience and you will be captivated after listening to one piece!

This three-day master class will take you on a journey around the globe as you learn about the impact humans are making on our wildlife. From the jungles of Borneo to our own shores and the skies above, you will tackle some of the issues facing our reptiles, spiders, birds and marine life.

The course starts with a visit from Jonathan's Jungle Road Show. You will meet and handle a selection of reptiles and invertebrates as you learn about the impact deforestation is making on these weird and wonderful beasts.

On the second day, our attention turns to the skies with Devon Birds of Prey. You will look at the affect that farming techniques and changes to our hedgerows are having on our birds. Devon Birds of Prey will highlight these issues and introduce you to some of their stunning birds.

For the final day, we welcome the Marine Conservation Society who will help you understand the state of our oceans and the much publicised impact plastics is having on our marine life. In the afternoon we will leave the classroom behind and head to the coast for a beach clean followed by a seashore safari!

This moving and emotive production will involve students and staff from across the whole College, a ‘Community Play’ in commemoration of a community who served their country at home and abroad during the Great War.
