Music at Malling goes online thanks to Covid

It's the annual festival, but not as we know it.

Before Covid 19, Music@Malling was planning a special festival in September this year to mark its 10th anniversary

Not to be defeated by the pandemic, artistic director Thomas Kemp has moved the whole thing online.

Re-named 'Music@Malling at Home' the festival will now run virtually from October 16 to 18, with a series of events that music-lovers can enjoy in the comfort of their own homes.

It will include concerts, talks, workshops, composer-curated play-lists and participatory events.

One of the highlights will be a virtual performance of Eleanor Alberga's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

The festival kicks off at noon with an introduction by Mr Kemp.

There will be performances within local venues such as St Mary's Church in West Malling and All Saints Church in Birling, but these will not be open to the public. Instead the sessions will be broadcast live online.

Many events are free, but some premium events require the purchase of a ticket to watch.
