CULTURE CLUB
CAMBRIDGE MUSIC FESTIVAL MUSICAL MOMENTS
The forthcoming season of the Cambridge Music Festival gets in full swing this October, with an enticing array of concerts ranging from traditional Syrian and North Indian music to world-class western classical musicians. The programme is the carefully considered work of director Justin Lee, and showcases a selection of artists and performances that are unlikely to be heard elsewhere. “We are just thrilled to announce our autumn 2023 concert series. In a city featuring so much music, Cambridge Music Festival stands apart for the exceptional quality and variety of the artists and music featured. There is something for everyone, and we hope that you will join us in celebrating all of the wonderful music on offer,” Justin enthuses. The extravaganza begins on 17 October with a mesmerising recital from the Takács Quartet at the West Road Concert Hall, performing Haydn’s Opus 71 No 2 as well as Beethoven’s Razumovsky Quartets . Throughout November, highlights include a choral masterpiece at King’s College Chapel, where the choirs of King’s and New College, Oxford will be accompanied by the Philharmonia Orchestra to perform The Creation by Joseph Haydn. On 10 November, the chapel will host a moving tribute to Sir John Tavener, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the composer’s passing.
