  • Description:

    Each week we will have a bring-your-own sandwich and coffee together in the West Road concert hall foyer, before attending the Cambridge University Musical Society's free lunchtime concert which runs from 13.10-13.55 during university term, stopping early in Easter term due to exams. These concerts present the University’s top musicians in ensembles ranging from 1 to 30 performers. The programme is classically focused but includes a range of styles, such as jazz, Gamelan and close harmony, as well as choral singing, chamber music and instrumental concertos. I arrange short talks with one or more of the performers. You do not need to attend all concerts. I hope this will be a social event as well as a cultural one. Donations are requested by the society at the end of the concert but are entirely voluntary.

    Please note: You will need to apply for this on your application form in order to receive information about the concerts. However, there is no limit on numbers so you don't need to place it at the top of your list of priorities. Exact dates will be distributed nearer the time.

  • Format: Sandwich and concert

  • Organiser: Jo Whitehead
  • I am a trustee and Vice Chairman of Cambridge University Musical Society, although not a musician, beyond singing in the choir.
