Arts & Culture THE MUST-SEE EVENTS AROUND CAMBRIDGE THIS MONTH
MUSIC TO MY EARS Cambridge Junction is offering plenty in the way of gigs this month. Highlights include The Magpie Arc, a band from Sheffield and Edinburgh with music rich in folk-rock influences from the 60s and 70s – see them on 11 February. On 18 February, soul band Stone Foundation bring their groovy sound to the live stage. The group has produced ten albums and worked with Paul Weller, Peter Capaldi and many more. Saffron Hall, meanwhile, plays host to the London African Gospel Choir on 4 February. They will be singing a reinterpretation of Paul Simon’s Graceland , adding a fresh and joyous touch to the seminal album which was originally inspired by and created with South African musicians. On 5 February, there’s a chance to hear the BBC Symphony Orchestra in a stunning evening of music, with works by Grażyna Bacewicz and Dvořák. Bassoonist Julie Price will also take centre stage with Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto and Elgar’s Romance . This month at Stapleford Granary, don’t miss Canadian musical duo Madison Violet – aka Lisa MacIsaac and Brenley MacEachern. The pair grew up on rural Cape Breton Island, and since the late 90s have been creating music that reflects their heritage while incorporating contemporary sounds. Together, they have produced more than ten albums, each melding a winning combination of storytelling with folk, pop, indie, bluegrass and country. Their latest album, Eleven , is thought to be the most candid and personal yet. Discover their remarkable sound on 10 February.
