University of Reading Music - Remembrance

University of Reading Music are holding a remembrance service at The Great Hall on Friday 13 November, from 7:00 to 9:30 pm. It's a student-led evening of music and readings, put together and organised by students as a personal and communal act of remembrance. The whole thing is built around the contribution the university and the wider Reading community made to the war effort, so it's as much about the local history as it is about the music.

The evening weaves together musical performances by university students with readings and contributions from invited university and community representatives. The service sets out to remember those who served and sacrificed, reflect on the experiences of those affected by conflict, and consider the importance of peace and community. Because it's student-led, the music and the readings sit side by side rather than one just backing the other.

It's held in the university's Great Hall on the London Road Campus, RG1 5AQ, with doors opening at 6:55 pm. There's free parking on site, and under-18s are admitted if they're with a parent or legal guardian. The service runs from 7:00 to 9:30 pm.
