Happy New Year, and welcome to our latest Arts programme,which is full of exciting events to cheer us through the winter andspring. The Larkin Toads may have gone, along with Larkin 25,but we can look forward to Stephen Sondheim, Shakespeare,Mahler, Natalie Clein, Gilbert and Sullivan, Kate Mosse, and TheTelephone, a miniature opera by Menotti, – entertainmentworthy of the best London venues, but all at Hull prices, andeasily accessible on and around the University campus. Don’tmiss our wonderful series of Student Showcases, or the secondhalf of our world class chamber music series, but if you preferJazz and Pop there are more informal, relaxed events for you too.A version of the Venice carnival comes to the city in May, and ifyou’re feeling political, come to our evening of ‘Fighting Back: AnArts and Humanities Response to the Government Cuts.’ Therereally is something here for everyone (and if you’re missing theToads, we still have one, secreted away in the Business School...).
