New Cambridge Singers – Music from Nature
Saturday June 22
£9.00 – £18.00New Cambridge Singers’ summer concert draws together music inspired by nature, culminating with Ralph Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending arranged for choir and violin by Paul Drayton, which brings new colours (and words) to this favourite. Plainscapes is perhaps the Latvian equivalent with its dream-like texture of wordless choir, cello and violin evoking the native birds of Peteris Vasks’ homeland.
More birds round out the programme, with Stanford’s miraculous and poised The Bluebird in its original context of the Op.119 folksongs to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the composer’s death.
New Cambridge Singers, conducted by James Potter/ Soloists: Freya Goldmark (violin), Chris Terepin (cello)
7..30pm (until 9.30pm) at Downing Place United Reformed Church, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EL
