Thursday 17th May – West Road Concert Hall, Cambridge Tickets £10/5 students – box office <a href="http://www.adcticketing.com" rel="nofollow">www.adcticketing.com</a> or 01223 300085 This is a unique opportunity to catch one of Britain’s top saxophonists with one of the best university jazz orchestras in the country – don’t miss it! Stan’s biog: Stan Sulzmann is without question one of the most highly respected musicians in the UK today, admired by musicians and audiences for his instantly recognisable sound, and boundless creative imagination, and is a source of inspiration to many of Britains emerging young musicians. Sulzmanns career stretches back to the 60s, when as part of a uniquely talented crop of British musicians, he played with Graham Collier, John Taylor, Kenny Wheeler, Gordon Beck, as well as leading many groups of his own. Since that time Stan has been at the forefront of European contemporary jazz, and his talents have been sought by a host of discerning musicians, including Gil Evans, Mike Gibbs, Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland and Michael Brecker. Constantly in demand as a guest soloist, he has appeared with bands across Europe, including the Hilversum Radio Orchestra, NDR Big Band (alongside Chet Baker), Hanover Radio Symphony Orchestra and the New York Composers Orchestra. Further intimate and refreshingly innovative musical partnerships have developed with acclaimed British pianist Nikki Iles, American keyboard player Marc Copland and the trio Ordesa a drumless, bassless combination with Kenny Wheeler and John Parricellli. Independent August 2002: Possibly the strongest new band in the country An accomplished and distinguished composer, Stans writing talents are internationally recognised, and have most recently found expression in writing for Ordesa, and the Stan Sulzmann Big Band. His music has been described in glowing terms ravishing, delicious, powerful and directmeticulously written, sometimes echoing the imaginative and much missed orchestra of Michael Gibbs The Guardian John Fordham: Sulzmann, the classy composer Dame Felicity Lott and Joseph Middleton at The Old Library, Pembroke College, Cambridge http://www.cammuso.org.uk/concerts/1706 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 16:00:00 +0000 DAME FELICITY LOTT – SOPRANO JOSEPH MIDDLETON PIANO Programme to include songs by Purcell, Schubert, Elgar, Poulenc, Britten, Hahn and Nol Coward. Dame Felicity Lott is one of Britain’s best-loved sopranos. In opera, her portrayals of the Strauss and Mozart roles in particular have led to critical and popular acclaim worldwide. Her concert engagements take her to the major orchestras, working with Rattle, Haitink, Mehta, Previn, Masur, Welser-Mst, Sawallisch and Sir Andrew Davis. Much of her concert and recital repertoire is recorded, as are many of her great operatic roles: from her wonderful Marschallin under Carlos Kleiber to her Belle Helene, with which she enchanted the Parisians when she sang the role for the first time at the Chatelet in Paris in 2000. A founder member of The Songmakers’ Almanac, Felicity has appeared on the major recital platforms of the world and in June 2005 she celebrated the 30th anniversary of her recital debut at the Wigmore Hall. A noted exponent of French song, she has been awarded the title Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the Legion dHonneur by the French Government. She was made a CBE in the 1990 New Year Honours and, in 1996, was created a Dame Commander of the British Empire. In February 2003 she was awarded the title of Bayerische Kammersngerin. Most recently she was made Doctor Honoris Causa of the University Paris Sorbonne. Tonight she is joined by Pembrokes College Musician, Joseph Middleton, winner of the Pianists Prize at the Wigmore Hall International Song Competition and recently described in The Times as the cream of the new generation. Tickets £15 (£10 college members, £5 students) available from the Porters Lodge or on the door.

Joel Frederiksen has a busy international solo career in opera and oratorio with the likes of Paul ODette and Jordi Savall, as well as in smaller-scale period performance. Frederiksen is at the moment the only singer to master the art of self-accompanying to the lute at the highest level. He has at his disposal an astonishing range of vocal registers and styles.

The band usually rehearses twice per week (Monday and Wednesday evenings) at Trumpington (within easy cycling distance of the City centre but lifts can be arranged). We are particularly in need of percussionists and a B flat bass player for a concert on 9 March and for the Regional Brass Band Championships on Sunday 18 March 2012.
