EASTER AT KINGS
The Cambridge-based Academy of Ancient Music, an internally revered period instrument orchestra, will perform a duo of Easter concerts next month in the sublime setting of the King’s College Chapel. Easter at Kings: Bach St Matthew Passion will see conductor Stephen Cleobury join the King’s College Choir to present Bach’s musical telling of Christ’s final hours on earth, under the chapel’s famous vaulted ceiling. The iconic score for vocal soloists, two choirs and two orchestras combines drama with devotion like no other. It questions, challenges and reassures, and contains some of the most beautiful and exquisitely crafted music from a composer who excelled in both those fields. The show will run on 15 and 16 April and tickets start at £15. aam.co.uk
PAPER CINEMA : MACBETH A captivating silent film-esque version of Macbeth is promised by Paper Cinema when they visit The Junction on 11 March. Shakespeare’s tragedy is vividly told with illustration, puppetry, film and a live score to create Scottish landscapes, storms, betrayal and, of course, a murderous plot. Tickets are £12.50. junction.co.uk
