Cambridge Early Music Baroque Summer School 2018
"Echoes of Antiquity": Student Showcase
Saturday 4 August, 7.30pm
Girton College Great Hall

This year's Summer School is devoted to England in the 18th century, when the interest in music of the past began to grow; Purcell imitated Elizabethan music, Handel borrowed from 17th-century composers, and the original Academy of Ancient Music was formed to perform "old"  music.

In this concert our Summer School participants present the large-scale and chamber works they have prepared during the week.
This concert forms part of the University of Cambridge Festival of Ideas 2018; for more information, visit the Festival website at www.festivalofideas.cam.ac.uk.
Bach: Under the Influence
Music from the Andreas Bach Buch
Thursday 18 October, 8pm
Trinity College Chapel

Internationally renowned concert organist and harpsichordist Douglas Hollick performs masterpieces from the north German organ repertoire – works which Johann Sebastian Bach knew and studied. Composers featured include Buxtehude, Weckmann, Pachelbel, and Bach himself.

This concert is given in memory of Selene Mills, the founder of Cambridge Early Music; proceeds will be shared between Cancer Research UK and the CEM Summer Schools bursary fund established in her name.

Thursday 6 December, 8pm
Great St Mary's
