The 'Concerti for Christmas' concerts given by the 'Amicables' have become a new Cambridge tradition. This vibrant young chamber orchestra, performing on period instruments without a conductor, is a democratic ensemble of soloists, who thrill audiences with their superb musicianship and risk-taking energy. This year they are joined by celebrated soprano Emily Van Evera and ‘one of the world's greatest trumpeters’, Adrian Woodward, in the splendid acoustics of Trinity College Chapel. Their programme centres around one of Bach's most celebratory works: Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen is a magnificent five-movement setting of Psalm 51, with highly virtuosic parts for both soprano and trumpet. This joyful work of thanksgiving and praise will make a splendid end to CEM's year of music.
