Festival of The Voice at Cambridge Early Music -
Tuesday 2 to Thursday 4 November - all at 7.30 p.m.
Three Concerts at Downing Place United Reformed Church, Downing Street
Formerly St Columba's (entrance now on the side, hence Downing Place = CB2 3EL)
Having heard The Marian Consort before, though not in their programme The Constant Heart, this is my personal choice of concert to attend – it would be a shame to miss them, so, although travelling NW the following day, I'm risking a night out (and maybe giving ad hoc help, if my CEM friends need it (I may also be around to help, before the gig, on Tuesday)) :
The Marian Consort explores loss and lament in sacred music by Tudor composers and presents new works by Ben Rowarth and Donna McKevitt in that context
Link to the gig-page here
£25.00 (no booking-fee, but donations are welcome)
There is also a combined ticket for all three concerts (Tuesday 2 to Thursday 4 November), subject to availability - £70.00 (or £65.00 to Friends of Cambridge Early Music)
Fayrfax Quincentenary – Ensemble Pro Victoria
On the day before, Tuesday 2 November, there is a programme called Fayrfax Quincentenary, given by Ensemble Pro Victoria, since...
This year is 500 years since the death of Robert Fayrfax (probably the most important composer of the Tudor era ?).
Can confirm adrenaline levels rise when flailing next to delicate glass lamps! 🙈🤦🏼♂️

Including this one, to open this year's Festival of The Voice at Cambridge Early Music, Ensemble Pro Victoria is celebrating Fayrfax’s canon with a series of concerts, plus, as well as videos and podcasts, a new recording of selected sacred and secular works.
The aim of this concert in Cambridge will be to offer not only a taste of all genres and styles in which Fayrfax was prolific, but also the chance to hear world-premiere reconstructions and some rarely-performed works.
