CULTURE EDITION
EXHIBITION YOUNG TALENT S ince opening its doors in 2021, Gallerie V has continued to support, inspire and educate the local youth community while showcasing the talent of emerging artists aged between 14 and 25 in the UK. From its central location opposite St John’s Chapel, the gallery’s four floors provide important exposure for those hoping to make an impression and pursue a path in the highly competitive world of visual arts. Currently, the gallery is staging a special third anniversary show, on display until 25 August. Discover a mix of hyperrealism, photography and painting from new and previously exhibited emerging UK artists. There will also be a display in the media room with a short video of interviews with previously exhibited artists talking about what it’s like to be a young creative in the UK and their experience exhibiting with Gallerie V. As a volunteer-run space, the gallery is open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to 5pm, and Thursday from 11am to 3pm. Celebrating three years of Cambridge’s youth gallery
ARTISTIC HORIZONS Gallerie V prioritises education, innovative thinking and – of course – the arts
MUSIC & COMEDY
August has a host of delights in store at world-class local concert venue Saffron Hall. The month gets underway with an inspiring performance from the National Youth Orchestra, as the ensemble returns to the stage with As One on 9 August. Talented teenage musicians will use music to explore powerfully emotive stories, including Orpheus Undone , The Flying Dutchman Overture and Mahler’s Titan Symphony . As part of the group’s mission to encourage young people to embrace the power of music, tickets for under-25s are free. Next, with several performances taking place on the 16th and 17th, prepare for a swashbuckling adventure in Bridge End Garden nearby with the outdoor production of Treasure Island , presented by Saffron Hall and KD Theatre Productions. This is followed on the 18th with an astonishing memorised performance from the Aurora Orchestra of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony – his final but most powerful, symphonic work. Finally, for a more light- hearted and humorous evening, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience returns on the 31st following several sellout performances across the globe. This interactive comedy spectacular will see you cast as one of the diners in the Faulty Towers restaurant, complete with a three-course meal!
