Lucy Cavendish Singers

Since Easter 2009, I have been a member of the Lucy Cavendish Singers:

We perform in Cambridge, often at various functions at Lucy Cavendish College (to which the choir is attached) or at public performances in venues such as the Michaelhouse Centre (http://www.michaelhouse.org.uk/), the EURC (http://emmanuel-urc.org.uk/) on Trumptington Street or the Bateman Auditorium in Gonville and Caius College (http://www.conferencecambridge.com/home/index.php?m=venues&id=10).

There are new photographs on the choir's website, above, along with some of the watercolour portraits which Lesley Fotherby has painted of the choir during our rehearsals and concerts over the last year or so. Lesley is a very talented watercolour artist, who enjoys capturing performance artists in the art of creation. Some of her other works can be viewed here: http://www.chrisbeetles.com/gallery/artist.php?art=1731

Also available on the website are lists of past and forthcoming performances as well as recordings of live choir works from the last year.

Lucy Cavendish Singers also have a Facebook page:

Here you can find more photographs of the choir and details of upcoming events.

The choir are lucky to be accompanied by a talented band of musicians, notably:

Jon also has his own music business, which includes his guitar tuition and mobile music system, Soul Music Nights:

The choir performs a range of music in our concerts, and audience and choir members are always complimentary of the way in which our fabulous directrice, Katharina Megli, creates a unique programme for each performance which combines music from 13th - 21st centuries, covering every musical style you can imagine! Pieces are performed by the whole choir, small groups and soloists. We have built up quite a following in Cambridge since the choir's inception in 2008 and often receive smiles and happy praise from attendees.

It is both a pleasure and a privilege to sing as a member of the Lucy Cavendish Singers. On my darkest days, a rehearsal with the gals always brings a value and smile to my experience. Here's to the future!
