We are London’s only amateur/semi-pro orchestra consisting mainly of recent graduates, with large numbers of ex-CUSO/CUMS/CUCO Cambridge musicians in our ranks. We aim not only for fantastic performances but have also established ourselves as the most sociable, lively and friendly of London orchestras, with regular socials, mad after-parties and a rather concerning ability to get recognised in any pub or bar in the Waterloo area. Our reputation for quality in performance has recently received the BBC’s stamp of approval, when we were selected as one of only 3 London orchestras to participate in the upcoming BBC2 series Maestro under the baton of celebrity conductors such as Goldie and Alex James, to name but a few. Our programmes incorporate all the big symphonic standards, as well as choral collaborations, projects with new young composers, and concertos in collaboration with the emerging stars from the London music colleges. We hope to build on our ‘youthful’ image in coming years through community work with schools and through charity concerts, as well as further projects along the lines of Maestro. Any instrumentalists who, like me, found themselves drifting inexorably London-wards, aching from the sudden lack of daily fixing requests in the barren wasteland of their new corporate lives; WE NEED YOU! Please get in touch now via email: <a href="mailto:u.sagar.03@cantab.net">u.sagar.03@cantab.net</a>, and get yourselves on our list in advance of our autumn concert, which will begin rehearsing in October.

Downing Choir is a mixed voluntary choir of around 20 voices, which sings evensong on Thursday and Sunday evenings in the college chapel. We sing a wide variety of sacred music, from the renaissance right up to contemporary music, plus a variety of secular works in an annual concert at the end of Easter term. In Summer 2007, we completed a successful tour to Canada and the USA, visiting Montreal, New York State and Vermont - other recent tours have included Dublin and two weeks in Scandinavia. This year we have also sung for services at Peterborough and Westminster cathedrals, and are planning a tour to Germany for July 2008. Singing for us is not a huge commitment, as there are only two services and one rehearsal each week. In return, the choir gets free formal hall every Sunday, and free singing lessons several times per term. There are also social events such as pub trips and curries.

Rehearsals: Orchestral rehearsals: SUNDAY 11TH FEBRUARY 1-3 SATURDAY 17TH FEBRUARY 1-3 SUNDAY 18TH FEBRUARY 11-1 Technical rehearsal (to coordinate the music and onstage action): Monday February 19th either the afternoon or the evening. Dress rehearsal: Tuesday February 20th, afternoon. Since the score and the choreography are both original we have been able to completely control the production as an artistic whole. The show has and absolutely all-star cast, fantastic producers, set and light designers, some of the best techies in the university, brilliant choreographers, one of whom used to dance ballet professionally, and a director whose production of Kafka's 'The Trial' received critical acclaim and made a profit at the Edinburgh fringe this summer. It's going to be beautiful. If you are interested or want to discuss it further, then please do email me (mcd42@cam.ac.uk). Very best wishes, Madeline Claire De Berri?
