Event: The 4th Annual JH Whitley Lecture Opportunity: Company Administrator at East Street Arts Space: Co Up. Creative Coworking Spaces Image: Family Shoot Video: Saving Grace Collective: O2 Think Bigger Project Audio File: Resilience   Creative Kirklees Newsletter 4 November 2015 If this was a musical newsletter we’d be starting it with a fanfare to Marsden Jazz Festival who has been named Yorkshire’s best festival at a top awards ceremony!  The annual three-day live music event, which took place in October, has won the ‘Outstanding Established Festival’ title at the Yorkshire Gig Guide Grassroots Awards 2015.  The deadline is approaching for artists and venues who want to put on a Huddersfield  Hat event – make sure you register your event here by this Friday to be included in the printed publicity.  Don’t miss your chance to hop on board and put on your own event during the weekend of 4-6 December. For all those singers and singing groups out there we think you'll enjoy this Dewsbury lunchtime concert - The Queen's Six will be performing on 11 November with A cappella singing ranging from the 16th Century masterpieces to brilliant new jazz arrangements. Definitely a concert not to be missed. Finally, a survey will be coming your way in the next few days that we encourage you to complete. It builds on the Kirklees Creative Sector Impact Study and will help to dig a bit deeper into the make-up of the sector in Kirklees.  We just wanted to ask you to look out for it on Creative Kirklees and your inbox!   Events Tue 3rd to Sat 28th Nov 2015 (4 weeks) Audrey Erbany- Exhibition @ Create Space- November 2015 Audrey Erbany 'Natures Beauty' 3rd - 28th November 2015 @ Create Space “As a successful Dutch artist, I followed my heart and moved to Suffolk U.K. in 2006.
