In November 2012, the first Cambridge Music Festival (CMF) under its new director Justin Lee, was a great success story. CMF attracted national press coverage as well as audiences and young people from across the region to a wide variety of orchestral, choral and chamber concerts, education projects and a major sound and light projection on to the street-side of King’s College Chapel.
Beginning next Tuesday (November 12th) and running until November 22nd, this year's festival promises the same mix of music, education and technology – with world-class artists including Nigel Kennedy (violin), Murray Perahia (piano), Andreas Scholl (counter-tenor), Pekka Kuusisto (electric violin), the Nash Ensemble, Academy of St Martin in the Fields and Britten Sinfonia (a major education project involving hundreds of young singers across the county) and an amazing Virtual Choir of nearly 4,000 singers from 76 countries projected on to the Senate House in the City centre.
Many stunning buildings across the City are home to the Festival’s programme of concerts such as King’s College Chapel, the Divinity School opposite St John’s College, West Road Concert Hall, the Corn Exchange and the Mumford Theatre at Anglia Ruskin University.
