A concert was held to mark Professor Holloway’s 75th birthday on Friday 19th October in the Bateman Auditorium featuring music from two new CD recordings of his music: ‘The Lovers’ Well’ (to be released mid-November on Delphian Records) and ‘Robin Holloway Trios’ (released in July 2018 on the Sheva label).

The concert was performed by current and recently graduated students and two University Lecturers in Music, Drs Martin Ennis and David Trippett. It was a fitting tribute to the extremely distinguished Caius composer.
