Sir Derek Jacobi in Conversation with Richard Clifford
2026-01-29 - 2026-01-30 | Cambridge Arts Theatre, 6 St Edward's Passage, Cambridge , Cambridgeshire, CB2 3PJ, United Kingdom
Not bad for a boy who grew up in Essex, the son of a corner shop owner and a secretary. From Leytonstone and the Leyton Players to Hamlet at the Edinburgh Fringe and a scholarship to Cambridge.
With peers such as Ian McKellen and Trevor Nunn, Derek is a founding member of the National Theatre and an enormous talent with Shakespeare running through his blood, having starred in almost every Shakespearean play.
With actor and director Richard Clifford in the driving seat for the evening, there will be incredible insight, joy of Shakespeare and so much more, as he is also Derek’s partner.
Tickets – £30

The Romantic - The Sampson Orchestra
2026-01-31 - 2026-02-01 | West Road Concert Hall, 11 West Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB3 9DP, United Kingdom
The Sampson Orchestra of Cambridge, conducted by Darrell Davison, performs works by three famous composers of the 19th-century Austro-German symphonic tradition. The concert begins with Schumann’s Manfred Overture (1848), and this is followed by Bruch’s renowned Violin Concerto No.1 (1868), featuring rising star soloist Basil Alter. The second half of the concert comprises Bruckner’s wonderful “Romantic” Symphony No.4 (1874). The local charity which will benefit from this concert is It Takes A City, which is a Cambridge Homelessness Partnership.
A particularly important sphere of the Cambridge Orchestra’s activities has been to work with local charities, amongst them the Arthur Rank Hospice, the Anglia Ruskin University Music Therapy Appeal, Cambridge Mencap, CamSight, and The Sick Children’s Trust. The Sampson Orchestra continues to do so as an important part of its charitable status.
