Celebrating the crowning of King Charles III!

Saturday 6th May 2023

Today, we celebrate the crowning of King Charles III! Music and song play such a big part in events like these.
We wanted to share a snippet of a blog post written by Keep It Universal in 2021; "There are moments in time that changed history forever and people all over the world chronicle them in books, art, and music. Dozens of songs have been written about major historical events in order for future generations to get a glimpse into what it felt like to live through them. Musicians have been capturing these emotions for centuries, and their music becomes a universal way for people all over the world to understand history."
We wish the best of luck to all those contributing to the celebrations with musical events!
