Beno Sachs Mahler Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (‘Songs of a Wayfarer’) – Gareth John, baritone, arr. Arnold Schoenberg Reger Romantic Suite arr. Arnold Schoenberg Conductor: Daniel Hill Baritone: Gareth John Book tickets online now “Hear’st thou not the brooklets streaming Where sweet spring her blossom strewed, Where the woodland lakes are dreaming, By the marble icons gleaming In sweet nature’s solitude?” The opening concert in our 2009/10 Cambridge Season is an exploration of the Second Viennese School and its glorious transcriptions for Arnold Schoenberg’s Society for Private Musical Performances. All three works are incredible journeys: Debussy’s Faune journeys to a dream world of erotic fantasy and sensuality; Mahler’s protagonist – perhaps Mahler himself – leaves behind his previous life of happiness to embark on a solitary journey to come to terms with his lost love; and Reger takes us on a journey into nature inspired by the poetry of Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff, to a world not unlike Debussy’s Faune, “Rise, O Sun on high! Trembling in the sky, Earth quivering with ecstasy. Boldly from the night The wooded splendour bright Is drawn in dreams still stirring.” Book tickets online now Chopin and the French School at the turn of the 20th century at Clare Hall, Dining Hall http://www.cammuso.org.uk/concerts/1020 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 16:00:00 +0000 Patrick Hemmerle, piano Programme: Chopin: Four ballades Intermission Faur: 6th nocturne Roger-Ducasse: 2nd Barcarolle Debussy: L’Ilse Joyeuse Emmanuel: 6th Sonatine Chabrier: Tourbillon, Idylle, Danse Villageoise, and Scherzo-Valse, from Pieces Pittoresques Chabrier: Bourre Fantasque Free Admission Inaugural 'Ashby' Concert at Bennett Room, Memorial Court, Clare College http://www.cammuso.org.uk/concerts/1023 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 16:00:00 +0000 An exciting opportunity to hear two fabulous young musicians in concert!

Joss Sanders) Harvey Brough – conductor Great St Mary’s, Cambridge 14 March 2010 Tickets: £10/£7.50 on the door; booking in advance from Chris Webb (ckw26@cam.ac.uk) — ABOUT ‘REQUIEM IN BLUE ‘ Commissioned by East England Arts and Wingfield Arts and winner of the first Andrew Milne Memorial Prize, ‘Requiem in Blue’ was written in 1998 in memory of Lester Brough, Harveys brother who died in a road accident. It is scored for a small ensemble – Drums, Bass, Keyboards, Chamber Organ, Theorbo (or guitar), Celtic Harp, Flugelhorn with 2 vocal soloists, SATB choir and a choir of children. The name was chosen to reflect the piece’s many influences – although it is based firmly in the tradition of a classical mass it also incorporates the composer’s extensive work in other musical areas – jazz, pop, blues, and folk. ‘Requiem in Blue’ has been performed over 20 times since its composition, with up to 250 singers of all ages being involved in each performance. Each performance has been given to a capacity crowd in a variety of venues (from chapels to cathedrals to concert halls) invariably to a standing ovation. The final movement (‘Lux Aeterna’) features words from Spoonface Steinberg by Lee Hall (writer of the original screenplay for ‘Billy Elliot’) – like all of the Requiem, this movement, although rooted in a Christian tradition is a powerful plea for universal redemption.

J.S. Bach (1685-1750) wrote the St. Matthew Passion in 1727 while he was Kappellmeister to the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. The work was performed and revised several times by Bach. It was not well-known outside Leipzig until 1829 when Mendelssohn performed it again in Berlin, since when it has been one of the most highly-regarded works in the sacred choral repertoire. The St Matthew Passion tells about the events and suffering of Jesus in the hours before and including his crucifixion. It is written for double choir and double orchestra, with solo voices. The performance will be in English.

There is no expectation of dancing. There is no piano (if this changes we will advise ASAP) There is no amplification We do not require vocals. We are anticipating they will start toward the latter part of the evening (when the main part of the meal concludes) and stay until the end, swing/jazz ( not of the Acker Bilk variety) with the aim of creating a coffee club atmosphere. They will of course be paid. If you can offer any help, it would be much appreciated.

The production is led by a professional director, designer and composer and is an exciting opportunity for Cambridge actors to work with a professional team on an ambitious production. The production is in Ancient Greek, but it isn't essential to be a Classicist or read Greek; there is plenty of tutoring, training and help on hand to help you conquer it! We are looking for committed, talented actors with a desire to learn new skills, tackle chorus and movement work and explore a weighty poetic text. We are looking for strong singers in some roles, though not all, and we are keen to have some actor/musicians in the ensemble . There will be an initial exploration period at the end of this term in 9th/10th week; some initial rehearsals to kick the start the project. The main rehearsal period will take place from 1st September, prior to the show being at the Arts Theatre in the 1st or 2nd week of Michaelmas Term. It is essential that you are available to be in Cambridge from 1st September to rehearse full time for this month. So if you would like to come and audition: First round auditions will be on Tuesday 2nd March from 3pm-7pm. Please prepare a short verse monologue (Shakespeare for example) to perform from memory. If you are a confident singer, please also bring something to sing. Don't worry if you are not. To book yourself an audition time please email Blake Palmer: <a href="mailto:Palmer311@live.missouristate.edu">Palmer311@live.missouristate.edu</a> pn252 on "Applications For Churchill Jazz Band Director 2010 - 2011 Now Open" http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/topic/348#post-361 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 22:23:42 +0000 pn252 361@http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/ APPLICATIONS ARE NOW INVITED FOR THE POSITION OF CHURCHILL JAZZ BAND DIRECTOR FOR 2010 - 2011. Next year's director will inherit one of the most exciting and promising big bands in Cambridge.

A boundless enthusiasm for promoting the band, fresh innovatory ideas and a desire to continue striving for greater musical excellence are essential requirements for the role. If you wish to nominate an unusual configuration of candidates, e.g. two co-directors, or a two-role leadership consisting of both an MD and President, this may be possible but only after approval by the committee. Please email pn252 if you wish to discuss this further. The director does not need to be a current member of the band. ***Nominations must be submitted to pn252 by 28/02/2010. All nominations will remain confidential.*** The election will be held at an EGM called for this purpose on 07/03/2010 (9.00pm - 10.30pm) and may include hustings. Once elected the director's term will begin at the end of May Week 2010. Easter term will act as a hand-over period where the old director will be able to share responsibilities with their elected successor. I hope to hear from you soon.
