Wrapping up
FOOTLIGHTS CLASS OF 2022 The Footlights Spring Revue is a hotly anticipated annual staple on the city’s comic calendar – no surprise given that previous breakout stars from the group include the likes of Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry, Rowan Atkinson and Sandi Toksvig. “The show is a celebration of Cambridge comedy,” sums up the Revue director Adam Al-janabi. “It’s filled with routines that emphasise the strength of the 12 Footlights’ comedic writing, and will consist of mostly new sketches co-written by this team of future stars – in addition to a few favourites from the group’s time at Cambridge. Highlights include anthropomorphised furniture, dangerous drivers and a full musical piece on the subject of academic rigour!” Secure tickets now to see the class of 2022 at the ADC Theatre, from 1-5 March. adctheatre.com

MUSIC TO MY EARS Melodies, motets and merriment return with gusto to Kettle’s Yard this March. “We are thrilled to host concerts once more,” says Deborah Carnwath, Kettle’s Yard music associate. “Kettle’s Yard Music keeps up its reputation for intimate concerts offering sparkling musical variety – from superb chamber groups, to thrilling sopranos and piano soloists.” On 3 March, Maxwell Quartet and clarinettist Anthony Friend will perform a mixture of styles, ranging from Beethoven and Mozart to Scottish folk. On 10 March, don’t miss soprano Gweneth-Ann Rand and pianist Simon Lepper. Sacconi Quartet and pianist Daniel Tong will display a repertoire of Mendelssohn, Schumann and Brahms on 17 March. The month of music concludes on 24 March with pianist Ivana Gavrić, who will play works by Chopin, Tchaikovsky and more. Kettle’s Yard has also launched a series of free lunchtime concerts by University of Cambridge students, entitled Return to Normality , with two performances on 4 and 11 March. kettlesyard.co.uk KETTLE’S YARD
