CAMBRIDGE EARLY MUSIC
Cambridge Early Music’s series of Baroque and Renaissance concerts continues this month with The Courtiers of Grace performing different shows on 4 and 7 August. First up on the 4th is Jouyssance vous Donneray , at Girton College Chapel, for some tuneful and poetic French music from the 16th century. Then, at Emmanuel United Reformed Church on the 7th, City Voices, Courtly Airs sees the group perform more French works from a similar period by Josquin, Le Jeune, Sermisy, Sandrin and others. Cambridge Early Music also runs summer schools in Baroque and Renaissance music, and you can catch chamber and large-scale pieces learnt by the students on the baroque course on 3 August at Girton College Great Hall. On the 10th, at the same venue, it’s the turn of the Renaissance summer school students to perform. cambridgeearlymusic.org
