The Art of State Ceremonial Music
Dr Graham Jones to give talk hosted by The Arts Society Ealing
Britain has a unique tradition of ceremonial events
|
The UK holds some of the biggest ceremonial events in the world and, arguably, the best in the world but why is that? How does the military prepare for major events such as State Opening of Parliament, State Visits, National Day of Remembrance, Royal Weddings or even a State Funeral?
Find out at a lecture by Dr Graham Jones hosted by The Arts Society Ealing. Dr Jones started his professional life as a musician in the British Army and after a career spanning nearly forty years he retired as the Senior Director of Music, Household Division and Director of Music, Coldstream Guards. During his career he has recorded over 40 albums and been responsible for commissioning over 30 new works. Graham has a second career as a guest conductor, adjudicator, lecturer, recording consultant and educator.
This talk is at 7:30pm on Monday 22 November at St Barnabas Church Hall, Pitshanger Lane, Ealing W5 1QG.
Visitors are welcome to attend at £8 per lecture. This fee is reduced to £3 for students and members of other affiliated Arts Societies.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied.
