Pax Musica
CAM is delighted to present a free choral music concert of love, hope and praise by Australian and British composers…
Taking place in the chapel of Trinity College Cambridge on Saturday 14 February at 7.30pm, this concert will include premieres by Wendy Hiscocks, Stephen Adams and Melanie Spanswick.
“The concert draws its title from the first work in the programme Pax Musica by Thomas Pitfield, with secular and sacred music completing a programme exploring themes of love, hope and praise.
“One feature of the concert is how often the texts in the programme refer to a bird, its flight and song inspiring many a writer and musician. May it continue to lighten and lift our spirits in this troubled world.”
