A SERIES of Friday night live music concerts is coming to Worcester.

The Royal Porcelain Works is playing host to the events, which will run on the first Friday of every month beginning on September 6.

The first event will welcome The Beethoven Experience.

As part of the initiative, Royal Porcelain Works has appointed its own Director of Music, Keith Slade, to oversee the events.

Keith, who was born in the West Midlands, began his musical journey learning the clarinet from the age of ten.

After reaching the final of the BBC Young Musician of the Year Woodwind Category, Keith graduated from the Royal Northern College of Music where he was awarded the Hilda Collens’ Prize.

Keith said : “Welcome to the very first season of Friday Night Live at Royal Porcelain Works.

“We will introduce soloists and groups of local, national and international repute, with concerts available for all musical tastes.

“We welcome all ages to our concerts, particularly young people and those who haven’t come along to concerts before.

“We hope you will be rewarded by a musical experience that will stay with you forever.”

Sara Matthews, general manager of the Royal Porcelain Works, said: “We kick off the season of Friday Night Live with a concert with a difference.

“Come and be immersed within the Royal Porcelain Sinfonia to experience the power of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, as you are seated amongst the playing orchestra in this never-been-seen-before set-up.
