OSMC is located at 15 Orange Street, Canterbury, which runs parallel to the main High Street shops and is situated just a few yards from the Marlowe Theatre. As you enter and walk through our own exclusive double doors at street level, you proceed up our sweeping staircase to the first floor (our Chaucer gallery) which then leads you through to the grand hall (our Becket Gallery), a former ballroom.
DJ Chopin ...
Piano: Sam Bailey
Turntables / Laptop / Live Electronics: Matt Wright
This exciting event takes the idea of the nocturne, the intimate form of night music so loved by Chopin, and updates it for 2009, the 160th anniversary of the composer's death. Pianist Sam Bailey and composer/DJ Matt Wright explore the improvisatory spirit inherent in Chopin's works whilst also drawing on fragments of Polish masters Witold Lutos³awski and Krzysztof Penderecki, in an evening where three centuries collide. Expect a vibrant fusion of classical performance, free improvisation and electronica.
