Often seen cycling round Cambridge with multiple children, fiddles, a box accordion or a cello, sometimes all of the above.
Trying desperately to save British General Practice and the NHS.

The finale to 2022 provides a mixture of ground-breaking and original live performance featuring the Cambridge Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus, plus some very special soloists.

Tippett’s staggering oratorio A Child of Our Time reflects on the shocking violence of war, the history of oppression and the ultimate hope for peace and reconciliation. The standard oratorio structure is maintained, but the traditional Lutheran chorales are replaced with African-American spirituals. This musical language also runs through Florence Price’s Concert Overture No. 2 as well as Stravinsky’s Choral Variations on 'Vom Himmel Hoch', based on a Christmas chorale by Bach.
