The concert programme allows for a wide range of musical styles with traditional Christmas and summer concerts as well as the hugely popular Unplugged and Axemonsters gigs, and informal and soloist concerts. Each year the Music Department stages a musical production. Past performances include Chicago, Legally Blond, Crazy For You, High School Musical, The Addams Family and The Breakfast Club. Regular trips to a variety of concerts take place which are relevant to the course.
