Entertaining weekend at UWI

Today, the student-led production of the Emperor’s New Clothes plays at the Black Box, DCFA Agostini Street. The play by Judith Kase is based on the well-known folk tale where a very vain, self-centred ruler is forced to learn an important lesson through the trickery of two strangers to his kingdom.

This colourful and entertaining production is set in Japan. Show times are 10 am and 2 pm. The production is suitable for children six years and older, and limited seating will be reserved for children only.

Later in the day, music lovers can enjoy the More than Just Jazz Concert, beginning at 7 pm.

The UWI Arts Jazz Ensemble showcases its improvisational skills at a concert which takes place at the JFK Lecture Theatre.

Tickets are available at the door.

On Sunday, the UWI Arts Sinfonia Concert presents an evening of orchestral dance music conducted by Sameer Alladin.

This programme draws on popular dance inspired music, including Bizet’s energetic and light-hearted Farandole, Strauss’ Blue Danube Waltz, and Mussorgsky’s menacing Night on Bald Mountain.

The centrepiece of this concert, Grieg’s Symphonic Dances, takes us on a journey to Norway with beautiful folk melodies.

The concert begins at 6 pm at the UWI Teaching and Learning Complex (TLC), Lecture Theatre E. Admission is free.
