Ladies College Presents: Les Miserables

 —  —

The Princess Royal Centre for the Performing Arts, Guernsey College of Further Education Les Ozouets Campus GY1 2UB, St.Peter Port, Guernsey

The show, which follows the story of Jean Val Jean - convict, turned mayor, turned revolutionary - is one of toil and challenge, as the title suggests, but also of great bravery, hope and the human spirit of standing up together for what is right. The very talented cast is made up of students from The Ladies' College, as well as from Elizabeth College, Les Varendes and the College of Further Education. These students have worked together to share their talents - in singing, acting and dancing - to bring you a production that celebrates its 40th year on the West End this year, as well as holding a very special place in the hearts of islanders, the original novel having been written here in 1862. Although the narrative follows Jean Val Jean, it also focuses more widely on a gamut of people in Paris in the melee of the June Uprisings in Paris 1832: while there is rebellion from Enjolras and his fellow students, and a constant threat of the law from Javert, there is also love that blossoms between Marius and Cosette and light-hearted relief from the wiley Thenardiers, who con and trick their way from being innkeepers to 'hob-nobbing among the elite'. Les Miserables shows people at their worst and at their best, and Hugo very cleverly captures in his characters what is means to be human - in love, war and survival. With a live orchestra, made up of current Ladies' College students and alumni, as well as professionals with ties to the college, there are some show-stoppers to look forward to, including: One Day More and Do You Hear The People Sing. We warmly invite you to what promises to be a very special production.

Everyone brought such different things to their performances it didn’t feel like comparisons were really possible."

(BST, UTC+01) (BST, UTC+01)

The Land of Green Ginger, 8 Market Square , St.Peter Port

Piano Day 2023 in Guernsey with Elena Fedorenko and her friends: Eloise Fabbri, Nicole Wyatt and Sam Cole. The evening will consist of a selection of contemporary classical music for piano solo, including some well-known works alongside some of Elena's own compositions.

“Why does the world need a Piano Day? For many reasons. But mostly, because it doesn’t hurt to celebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener.” – Nils Frahm

Piano Day, an annual worldwide event founded by a group of like-minded people, takes place on the 88th day of the year – in 2023, it’s the 29th March – because of the number of keys on the instrument being celebrated.
