Start off the morning festivities with wonderful music from members of our resident de Havilland Philharmonic Orchestra. Grab some coffee, relax and listen as the String Quartet plays.
Formed in 1969, and celebrating their 55th Anniversary, the University’s resident orchestra, de Havilland Philharmonic, brings together over 80 classical musicians, and delivers several concerts per year – performing some of the best-loved classical masterpieces.
