The Music Department just returned from a fantastic trip to the Corn Exchange in Newbury, where our students were treated to a live performance by the incredible Finn Carter Quartet.

It was an inspiring afternoon filled with brilliant jazz, top-class musicianship, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you fall in love with live music all over again.

A huge thank you to the team at the Corn Exchange for hosting us and of course to the Finn Carter Quartet for such an unforgettable performance!

“The Finn Carter Quartet comprises some of London’s most important up-and-coming jazz musicians.

Separately, they all regularly tour the world with musicians such as Loyle Carner, Sampha and Tom Misch. Playing together in this group allows these musicians to explore new musical terrain each time they play together. They are all technically virtuosic, but the music they create together is more than that; it is sensitive, emotive and synergistic.
