Please contribute to plans to improve the Music in Portsmouth website.

All websites need a facelift from time to time. Unbelievably, “MiP” is now approaching its tenth year. I will be re-designing the site early in the New Year.

I would appreciate any input on this. Please give me 5 minutes of your time to complete a short questionnaire by Friday 29 November.

Here is the link to complete the questionnaire:

The Renaissance Choir will be singing The Bee Carol on 13 December. This stunningly beautiful carol was the winning entry in the BBC Radio 3 Carol Competition in 2018. The words are by Scottish poet and playwright and Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy: “Silently on Christmas Eve, the turn of midnight's key; all the garden locked in ice - a silver frieze - except the winter cluster of the bees.”
Listen to the BBC Singers performing this carol: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4bq78QT7j5pz5cQwdmN84Lz/radio-3-carol-competition-2018

Pianist Keelan Carew is thrilled to perform Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with the St. Cat’s Ensemble at Petersfield Festival Hall on 13 March 2026.

The piece has been close to his heart since childhood, thanks to its iconic appearance in Fantasia 2000, which sparked his early love of music, animation and storytelling. Keelan sees the work as a bridge between jazz and classical traditions, celebrating creativity, improvisation and artistic freedom. As he prepares his own cadenzas and flourishes, he hopes to channel the spirit of Gershwin and Disney—uniting education, entertainment and inspiration in one unforgettable performance.
